Would you like to be a part of preserving Springfield History?
The Library needs your help!
We want to fill in the gaps in our high school yearbook collection, and then put scanned copies online for anyone to access freely.
If you have a yearbook from any High School in Springfield, Massachusetts -- public, private, or charter -- from any year, and are willing to donate it to the library, just drop it off at one of our nine locations in Springfield.
It's okay if the yearbook has writing in it, or it's not in perfect condition. We'll add all usable copies to our collection for people to browse, and send as much of the collection as we can to be scanned by Digital Commonwealth at the Boston Public Library.
Then Springfield's yearbooks will be up on the internet for anyone to look at, any time, from anywhere!
So please look for that old yearbook, and give it to us so we can create a yearbook archive for Springfield! We appreciate your help with this important project to preserve our community's history.
We've had such a fun time with the Discover Your Summer Reading Club this year! But fall is around the corner, and the last day to complete your entry (paper log or Beanstack) is this Saturday, August 27.
Please go into your local library and get your completion prize for your 30 days of reading, and make sure you are signed up for the raffles you're eligible for! (Details on the club and prizes are here.)
Thank you for joining us this year, and check with us for more reading challenges this winter!
