Ruskin Branch Library History Roadshow

The Ruskin Woman's Club is celebrating its centennial this year and part of that celebration includes the library. Did you know that Ruskin's public library began inside the Ruskin Woman's Club building?

We were lucky enough to scan old library documents housed in Ruskin Woman's Club, including old library catalogs like this one.

The current Ruskin Branch Library opened in 1966. An image of the dedication program is below.

Join us on Sunday, 4/15, from 1pm-4pm at the Ruskin Branch Library to share your memories. A panel discussion with members from the Woman's Club and the community will take place at 2pm. Bring your library stories and memorabilia. It will be a great day!
