The Canton Township Carnegie Library is turning 100 in October. To celebrate, they will be holding an event from 1-4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 2 at the library. In addition to serving homemade ice cream from old-fashioned crank operators, the staff and board members will have games that were popular in the 1920s available to play and they will have a silent movie playing during the event to feature additional 1920s technology. “We are going to go with the 1920’s theme,” said Kim Witt, library board president. “People can dress in 20s costume if they would like and we’ll have a photo opportunity for that.” The library has three stenograph viewers, a turn of the century technology that displays 3D images when looking through a set of lens that will be set up in stations for guests to use. The viewers were purchased by the library when it opened.
