Georgetown Peabody Library

The library will be showing “Puss in Boots” on Friday February 24, 2012 from 1-3pm in the library’s meeting room. Starring Antonio Banderas as the voice of Puss.

As part of a CPC grant, the library has been working on getting our newspapers scanned, digitized, and searchable. Here is the first installment of some of our newspapers. More will be added as they become available.

Currently, these newspapers cover:

The Georgetown Enterprise January 28, 1964-June 24, 1965

The Georgetown News December 6, 1962-March 30, 1966

The Georgetown Weekly April 20, 1966-December 30, 1971

You can look at each individual newspaper, or do a simple keyword search. Try searching for “snow storm” and see what you find!

The Friends of the Georgetown Peabody Library are hosting an evening with local author Terry Crawford Palardy on Wednesday, February 29 from 6:30 – 7:30 pm in the Community Room of the Georgetown Peabody Library. Admission is free.
