Today we're going all the way back to 1966-1968!

In 1966, County Commissioners Ralph Meiser, Jesse Fry and Blair Lauver were persuaded to establish a county library, and did so by adopting a resolution on March 21 of that year. The first library board was headed by John Anstine, and included Dr. Eugene Sausser as vice president, Ruth Cramer Waters as secretary, and Mark Delbaugh as treasurer.

The site for the library was chosen: a few rented rooms in the former Park Plaza Hotel at the corner of Main and Lemon streets in Mifflintown. The first three library cards were issued on Nov. 26, 1966, to Commissioners Meiser, Lauver and Fry, during the dedication ceremony for the brand new Juniata County Library.

Enjoy this flashback to our library's beginning!
