A Look Back: 1930s Continuing along the library's historical timeline — and in celebration of Earth Day and National Arbor Day — we're sharing photos from our 1930s archives showcasing the beautiful trees of Falls Church. Be sure to swing by to see our book display honoring Arbor Day, which has been celebrated in Falls Church since 1892! During the 1930s, the library remained at 222 N. Washington Street and patrons could purchase year-long subscriptions for $1.00. The library hired its first paid employee and, by the end of the decade, became a free public library. Visit our 1930s timeline post for more fun facts and check out other historical photos from the Falls Church History Room digital collection. Join in on the social media fun by following us on Instagram (@littlecitylibrary) and Facebook so you don't miss our #Throwback Thursday pics! Feel free to share your own library pics using our hashtag #mrspl125Years. MRSPL Patron Cards — Past and Present! Drop by to see our fun display of library patron cards from the last few decades — and check out our current ones! Let us know which one you have!
