While libraries have changed a lot in the past 50 years, they are definitely still being utilized by members of their local communities! This week's #ThrowbackThursday compares the Library Commission minutes from February 1974 to the report from January 2023 that was just shared with our current Library Commissioners this past Monday, February 6, 2023 at their February 2023 meeting.
2,401 materials circulated in January 1974, and 2,895 materials circulated in January 2023. Way to go, patrons!
In case you're curious what Center Line Public Library looked like in the 1970s, those photos are included, too! The top image is of the Library, and the bottom one is Center Line Parks & Recreation.
Were you visiting Center Line Public Library in the 1970s?
