Stop by the West Wing of City Hall and see the eye-catching display in the trophy case honoring Mission Library! It has striking pictures of the library over the years, including Ms. Klune, the first City Librarian, and nuggets of information about life in the 1950s that will delight trivia buffs. Here’s a sampling:
