Avenue and West 9th Street.

Former longtime Plainfield resident and expert on Plainfield history and architecture John Grady will give a presentation at the Plainfield Public Library on Saturday afternoon (May 11) from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM.

John will illustrate his talk with photos and postcards from his voluminous collection. The presentation will be in the Anne Louise Davis Meeting Room on the ground floor.

At the same time, the Library has mounted an exhibit of photos, postcards and other ephemera from John's extensive collection that he donated to the Library on moving to Williamsburg, Virginia a decade ago.

This will be a wonderful opportunity to learn a great deal about Plainfield's past (and John has many funny anecdotes as well) and get to visit with someone who is an old friend to many of us.

The event is part of the City of Plainfield's 150th Anniversary celebration and is free to the public.

The Plainfield Public Library is at Park Avenue and West 8th Street. The library is an accessible facility. Parking available in the 8th and 9th Street lots and on the street. The library is open for this event only; the main library will NOT be open.
