As part of our Reading is Timeless Summer Reading Program, we’re bringing out the "tech of yesteryear." This is a hands-on experience where you can click, dial, and explore the machines that paved the way for the gadgets we use today. From rotary phones to vintage typewriters, come see how much has changed (and how much has stayed the same!).
A special thanks to Garden Valley Technologies & Sandhill Tax and Accounting, Inc. for providing these timeless pieces of history for our community to enjoy.
