The Robert Rowe Public Library is applying for a Historical Records Preservation Grant.  Our vision is to preserve, access, and use our local history.  We plan to purchase equipment and archival products that will preserve historical maps, obituaries, and other history to a new electronic format which can be used by the public.  This grant is a "matching funds" grant.  Every dollar raised will be matched by grant funds.

Many, many thanks to our generous donors.

Begins January 4, 2010.  Activities for kids and teens.
Help us build our library dragon one scale at a time by reading through the cold winter months.
