Come out to the library for our second annual Community History Fair to learn more about the many local historical organizations that are helping to preserve and make accessible Middletown's history. Located in the Community Room - free and open to the public! The library will also be kicking-off their "Engaging with Middletown History" Community Quilt with Rebecca's Reel Quilt Guild - come create a square! Bring a photo or image that is special for you, or use our fabric markers. All squares will then be sewn together to create the finished quilt. More sessions will be held throughout the rest of the year.
