The Princeton Public Library

"Your librarians were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

We are unearthing all kinds of things in the library, and bring dinosaur bones into youth services! Come check us out and join us for Summer Reading!

Who is excited for Princeton Public Library's Historical Trivia Night? We are!

Be sure to find a team and register so you're all set and ready for June 16th at 6pm so you can decimate the competition like the Romans did (well... maybe not EXACTLY like the Romans did).

See you then!

The load in for our Illinois Archaeology exhibit went pretty quickly thanks to our amazing set- up crew (but not quite this fast!) Apologies for the late upload--fighting with an old camcorder to download the raw footage.
