Warner Library Highlights Local History Collection

The Warner Library in Clinton's local history collection is a major draw for patrons of the library.

 

Director Bobbi Perryman indicates the local history collection takes up two floors of the building and is a central part of the mission of the library.

 

 

According to Perryman, the library made a huge effort not that long ago to digitize its local history collection. In addition to online resources, they've been able to expand their programming thanks to those pieces.

 

 

Perryman indicates the vastness of what is available covers a wide range of spectrums of information from veterans' histories to photo archives like local school yearbooks. 

 

 

Perryman points out they get about 2,000 hits per month on its digital resources, which she points out, is very good for a community the size of Clinton. There is also a podcast produced by the library that highlights local history and even stemmed into a true-crime program at the library last year.
