Lutz Branch Library History Roadshow:
July 28th from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. with guest speaker, Dr. Susan MacManus, at 1:00 p.m.
Did you know that library service in Lutz started as a bookmobile stop in 1961? A more substantial library was created later that decade in a wood frame building. Staffed by volunteers, it provided one thousand volumes to the public on home-made bookcases. Do you have a memory of this library? Gather your information and artifacts to share and head over to the Lutz Branch Library for the latest stop of the Library History Roadshow, this Saturday, July 28, from 10am-3pm.
