The MPL centennial celebration continues with a couple of historical blog postings about periods of significant growth and innovation during the Library's formative years.
- MPL expands patronage and services during the "Roaring Twenties" and Great Depression (click here for more);
- MPL innovates during wartime and postwar prosperity (1940s and early 1950s) (click here to read about it).
You might be surprised to learn that our small-town library has been on the cutting edge of many creative and innovative practices that today are taken for granted in the library profession. More surprises are in store as we explore the middle period of the Library's 100 years of public service. Read about it here or go directly to our "treasure trove" blog.

P.S. The "Roaring Twenties" planted this tune in my head. This recording of "Yes! We Have No Bananas" (1923) features the Sam Lanin Orchestra; Irving Kaufman, vocalist.
