Artwork Collection

By Nick  | 
In 1965, a circulating art collection is established. The collection consisted of approximately 20 pictures. The rental fee was $0.50 monthly, with $0.25 daily fine for overdue prints. Borrowers were allowed to keep the prints for a month, and could renew provided there was no waiting list. Patrons were required to pay for replacement costs in case of damage. By January 1966, all prints were in circulating with long waiting lists.

These photographs depict the library’s art collection in 1969.
