As you go around town this month, be sure to drop by the Marco Island Library to see the new historical display reflecting the upcoming 250th birthday of the United States of America.

The timeline presentation is a joint project of the Marco Island Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and its sister chapter in Naples. The members collaborated on the project which will be front and center at the library through November. 

Andwhile you are at the Marco Library, you can check out (literally!) any of the myriad of historical books that tell the remarkable story of the people and circumstances that coalesced in 1776 into the most exceptional country in history – The United States of America.The Marco Library is at 210 Heathwood Drive.
