WEST MILTON — The Milton-Union Public Library was established early in 1937.
In April of that year the first librarian, Mary Elizabeth Cornell, was hired.

The 75th Anniversary Committee has chosen to commemorate the milestone with several special events and services to the community. Beginning Feb. 1, the library will begin to celebrate its “white diamond” anniversary in the following ways:

• The display case will exhibit the top 10 books for 1937, along with a timeline of library, local and world events.

• Feb. 1-14, library staff will forgive fines, upon request, for patrons who have returned all lost or overdue materials.

• Each 75 minutes of a specified day prizes will be awarded to someone checking out items. Prizes will be donated by the New Friends of the Library.

• Prizes will be award to the winning patron of a weekly trivia question contest.

• Each patron will be able to autograph a heart, which will be displayed at the circulation desk through these celebratory months.

• Children’s coloring pages and commemorative bookmarks will be available as well.

The library is encouraging patrons to write down their favorite library memory. and send it to the library at 560 S. Main St., West Milton. Patrons also can visit the library’s website at www.mupubliclibrary.org and visit the Facebook page to email or post response,s too.
This celebration will run from February through April.  The library encourages patrons and community members to help them commemorate their “white diamond” anniversary.

The library is open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
