For more that 125 years Meekins has been your town library. Did you come in as kid? Have you been visiting for decades? Do you remember sneaking up into the low glass-floored mezzanine stacks under the rotunda? Did you look with amazement at the big open space after the renovation in 2003? How many librarians have you known? How many do you know now?
During National Library Week visit your hometown library in person or virtually. As the author Neil Gaiman says: “… librarians help … people navigate the world.” Daria D’Arienzo, Meekins Archivist and photographer. #throwbackthursday; #tbt.
