Saving treasures and momentos of our everyday life to be revealed in 25 years time!

Montgomery County Public Library is celebrating its 75th anniversary!  Help us fill a time capsule to be opened in 25 years when MCPL celebrates 100 years. 

Donate any small keepsakes such as: old summer reading t-shirts, expired library cards, photographs of the Twinbrook area, copy of favorite book, any MCPL swag, etcetera. If your item is too big or we no longer have space, a photo can be taken.

If you are unable to make it to the actual event but would still like to participate, donations for the time capsule will be accepted beginning September 1 through to the day of the event on September 12.  In addition, postcards will also be available beginning September 1 where positive messages, thoughts, and memories can be written for those opening the time capsule in 25 years to read!  

During the event, Peerless Rockville will discuss Twinbrook's history beginning at 12:30 pm. 

All are welcome to attend all or part of this event celebrating Montgomery County Public Library's 75th anniversary.

Let's gather together as a community to reminisce of years past as we look towards the future.
