Historic Library
This library is very unique in that it's a beautiful historic home converted years ago to a classy library. In addition to the typical resources you would expect to find in a library, it is very engaged in community programs. For instance, just before the holidays throughout December, the library held a collection event for the shelter to home rescue in Wyandotte. Many dropped off blankets, dishes, toys and anything else that dogs and cats could use at the shelter. I loved bringing my kids and grandchildren to this very unique library over the years. In fact, I took a friend's child several years ago for a haunted story telling in the library's cool attic on the upper level. I continuously check the Wyandotte home page for library events at the Bacon Library. It's a very special place that is well worth checking out.?

I miss the carpeted bathtub!
My mom worked here when I was in 2nd grade in the 70's... and to a bookworm like myself, the Bacon Library was a heaven on earth. I came here daily, and used to read books in a carpeted claw foot tub! Janet and Beth were the best librarians -- and I think they're still there! Mrs. Tinsley used to bring her beagle Socrates there, and she'd let me go upstairs into the Bacon House with her all the time... oh, I miss that place and time. :-) Today it's a much more modernized library, but its bones are still there, and I am transported back just stepping through the door.
