Has it been that long?

We have been so busy at the library these past few months that I have neglected the history blog. The oral history project is almost completed and the website should be up at the end of the month. The DVD set and bound transcripts will be made available for circulation.

To tide us over we have a few new photos courtesy of Mabel Ann Watkins!!

The Bluebird Tea Room, Franklin Lakes, NJ

I know we've posted some information on the Bluebird, but I just can't help myself! We were able to locate a few more vintage postcards of the old tea room on Ebay and wanted to share them with you.

Please email me with your memories of the Bluebird Inn
in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey.

be pleased to bring your family and friends"
