The Bartlett-Carnegie Sapulpa Public Library in Sapulpa, Okla., is marking its 90th birthday on Sept. 15, and to begin the festivities that day will be Route 66 author Michael Wallis, reports the Sapulpa Daily Herald.
Wallis will sign books and answer questions from the public from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in John Frank Hall at the library, which is on Route 66 at 27 W. Dewey Ave.
“Of all the libraries Andrew Carnegie founded in the late 1800s and early 1900s –– 24 of those in Oklahoma –– Sapulpa is fortunate to be one of the eight remaining in the state,” said Ted Fisher, Economic Development Director for the City of Sapulpa.
The Herald also has a separate story about the library’s history, along with vintage photographs.
