The Briggs used book sales are returning in September
Because of the state of the Briggs District Library’s warehouse, used book sales will be held on the main floor of the library. There will be a more limited selection of materials, but sales will take place each Saturday the library is open beginning in September. The library will be open from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
The library will also start accepting book donations in September. Because of the limited space, they are asking patrons to follow these new guidelines when choosing materials to donate to the library:
– Donations will only be accepted on Saturdays during the book sale
– Donations should be clean (no dirt, no mold, no torn covers/pages, etc.)
– Donations should be published within the last 10 years (again, limited space, please be selective when deciding what to donate)
– All donations should fit in one paper grocery bag (no space, no space, no space — but come back the next Saturday with another bag of books to donate.)
Copies of Rodney B. Wilson High School collage photos available
The Clinton County Historical Society has decided to make copies of the photo collages from the Wilson Center accessible to the community. The photos have been digitized, and for a donation you may obtain a digital file to use as you wish.
After the sale of the former Rodney B. Wilson High School and Junior High School building, the Clinton County Historical Society was fortunate to obtain the framed collage photos from the graduating classes of 1925, 1941, 1945-1967, that had been hanging along the hallways for so many years.
Central School was the high school before Rodney B. Wilson was built for the 1925 graduating class. They also have the whole school photo from 1921 taken at Central School.
The frames are well worn and of the many individual photos they contain, fewer than five are missing.
To obtain a file, you will need to contact CCHS to arrange the file transfer. Contact the Museum at pgsmuseum.com, or 989.292.9096 or the Archives at petersj@msu.edu.
