The Floyd County Library Building Fund, Inc., and the Jessie Peterman Memorial Library will hold an open house to celebrate the 50-year anniversary of the Montgomery-Floyd Regional Library’s public service in Floyd County at the library, 321 N. Main St., on Friday, March 10, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m..
The open house will feature refreshments, music, and an opportunity to reminisce about the
library’s history and impact on the community. Several speakers will take part in the event, including a representative from the Floyd County Woman’s Club, which initiated the library in 1973, and local historian Judge Gino Williams, who will share some insights about Floyd County’s history as it relates to the library.
The library had its beginnings in the Floyd County Woman’s Club’s first facility before moving to its current home in the Jessie Peterman Memorial Library building.
The open house is a chance to recognize this 50-year milestone and reflect on the library’s past and future as a vital institution in Floyd County.
