On Thursday, October 11, 2012 at 7:30 PM, the Mahwah Museum Lecture Series presents: “Celebrate Mahwah Library, 1912 -2012”, by Carol Greene. The present Mahwah Public Library had its early beginnings in Eleanor Bugg’s home in Cragmere Park, as a loving memorial to her deceased sister. This year—2012, is the centennial of the library, and the perfect time to tell the charming story of its founding. Mahwah Township Historian Carol Greene draws from her book, The Ramapough Chronicles: A 300-year History of Mahwah and its Surrounds, to describe what our town was like a century ago. Greene will relate how the town and the library have changed over the years. Rare antique books from Mahwah’s earliest library shelves will be on display.
The lecture will be held at the Ramapo Reformed Church Education Bldg., 100 Island Road, Mahwah NJ. Refreshments will be served afterwards. Admission is $3:00 – Members are free. Reservations are recommended. To reserve or for more information, call 201-512-0099 or email lectures@mahwahmuseum.org.
