Spring Cleaning for a Great Cause!

boxes in basementMr. Robinson has been hard at work in the library basement culling and packing boxes of donated, used books to make room for the  expansion of the Historical Society of Riverton’s archives.

On April 9th and 10th, members of the HSR moved nearly 100 boxes out of the basement and assisted workers from the Salvation Army in loading their truck.

ArchivesOnce the basement is rearranged, the Friends of Riverton Free Library will continue to offer used books for sale.  Several local professional archivists are volunteering their time and expertise to advise on a plan for the complete renovation of the HSR archives, which will include more storage and public display space.

Terrific cooperation between two of Riverton’s stellar public service organizations!
