A wonderful reason to drop by our Library is to see the current display of historical items.  The displays are created from the materials in our Archives and loans from our members.  Sylvia Hocker coordinates this effort. The Perry Historians wishes to thank her for her efforts and also our members everyone who has loaned items.
