The Bryant Room
Myrna Sloam, our archivist, and I have completed the Bryant Room web site redesign. For those of you who don't know, The Bryant Room houses our local history collection. There is a tremendous amount of information there -- for researchers as well as for "browsers." Roslyn has a rich and interesting history, which the library has been diligently collecting over the years. And, now we offer it to you!!
* Do you know that we've been in this building since 1952 and the Bryant Room collection was established in 1953? Want to know more about the history of the Bryant Library?
* Are you dying to know how we got the name Roslyn?
* How about a timeline going back to 1643?
* Would you like to review the From the Bryant Room column that Myrna writes for our newsletter every month? There is some fascinating material hidden in there! Did you know that George Washington visited Roslyn?
* Are you curious about our namesake, William Cullen Bryant?
* There is nothing like learning history through stories, and Roy Moger was a great storyteller! We are fortunate to have many stories available to us from a former local historian, and Roslyn Then and Now author, Roy Moger.
For the answers to all of these questions and much more, please visit our newly designed Bryant Room website! And, after you've investigated our new site and your curiosity is piqued, please come visit in person! The Bryant Room is absolutely beautiful and it feels like you've taken a step back in time.
