It's August. It's HOT! Do you know where your family movies & records are stored?
Advice from the PCPL Archive: Don't store tapes or discs in a car, garage, or attic where summer temperatures soar, but keep them in a cool dry place!
Heat can not only damage the data on the tapes and discs, but it can warp their cases - making it difficult to load the tapes or discs into the machines that read them.
And don't forget as a Putnam County, IN resident, the Putnam County Public Library will help you digitize your family movies, VHS tapes, audio cassettes, etc. to a USB drive as a free service at its Digital Lab in the PCPL Archive. A great way to share family movies and memories this coming Christmas!

With public schools start up shortly, let's look back almost 60 years ago to a big year of school consolidation in Putnam County, Indiana. 1969 saw the full opening of North Putnam Community Schools (serving Clinton, Monroe, Russell, Floyd & Franklin Townships) and South Putnam Community Schools (serving Jefferson, Marion, Warren & Washington Townships). This marked the end of town high schools in Bainbridge, Roachdale, Russellville, Belle Union, Fillmore and Reelsville. Of course, this was not the first of school consolidations: Putnamville high school students were sent to Cloverdale H.S in 1940 (then later to Reelsville H.S.), and Clinton Center H.S. closed in 1947 with students sent to Bainbridge H.S.
Were YOU ever involved with a school consolidation in Putnam County? What are your memories/opinions of changing schools?

110+ years ago this week marks a special day for our sister library in Roachdale, IN - on July 30, 1913 the cornerstone was laid for Roachdale's Carnegie Library building!
1913 was a busy year in Roachdale with the Carnegie Library Commission's promise of funds in February, the purchase of the library lot at Washington & Meridian Streets in May, hiring local builder C.F. Rice in June to construct the library for $8,995, laying the cornerstone in July, and finally dedicating the Library building on Jan. 8, 1914.
Best of Luck to the Roachdale Public Library, as they work now to complete the renovation & expansion of their historic Carnegie Library building! - PCPL Archive.
