America 250

Celebrate 250 years of our nation with themed programs and activities for all ages. Together, we’ll highlight community stories, creativity, and a shared sense of celebration.

Conmemore los 250 años de nuestra nación con programas y actividades temáticas para todas las edades. Juntos, celebramos las historias de la comunidad, la creatividad y la alegría de un aniversario compartido.

Preserve the Memories 

As we celebrate 250 years of our nation, help ensure your family’s stories are part of the history we carry forward. Use Preserve the Memories equipment from the Library of Things to record oral stories or digitize VHS tapes, photos, or cassettes for generations to come.

Vote for the next County Library Bookmark

This spring, we invited patrons of all ages to celebrate America 250 by submitting patriotic artwork for a bookmark contest. The winning design from each age category will be professionally printed and distributed at all 18 County Library branches this fall. Vote now through June 30.
