It’s a great way for visiting cyclists to see local history resources on the main floor/near front door. They haven’t got oodles of time to peruse the whole library to find stuff. So it’s checking email and next destination accommodation, food. So wandering into a library in the Cape Cod area, or on Big Hawai’i Island is akin wandering into the local farmers’ market: consumer local info.!
