2pm - 10pm

Ditch the screen for a "prehistoric" typewriter! Drop in to clack out a favorite neighborhood memory.

Details

Description

This summer, we’re using "prehistoric" technology to capture the living history of our neighborhood. Stop by the library to type out a favorite Parkman memory—whether it’s a story about a local landmark, a childhood block party, or your first visit to the library. At the end of the summer, every typed page will be compiled into a Community Keepsake Portfolio to be preserved in our local history collection.
