Passing the book at Metro

June 21, 2004 | Announcement

The Metropolitan Library System would like to invite you and your family to help us make a little Oklahoma history.
On Friday, August 13, 2004, we will gather for the first major event to celebrate the opening of the Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library: The Grand Opening Book Passing.

The Grand Opening Book Passing will be a historic first for Oklahoma City, as we pass books from the old Downtown Library to our new home at 300 Park Avenue. We’re planning to line the streets with library lovers of all shapes, sizes, and professions — and we’d like you and yours to join us.

So come take your place alongside judges and librarians, government workers and bus drivers, business executives and auto mechanics, firemen and policemen, teachers and school children, waiters and lawyers, DJs and television personalities, small business owners and secretaries — all the people who call this city home, as we show the world just how proud we are to unveil a new state-of-the-art public library for the 21st century.

To participate, please go here.
