Redwood City Public Library Offers a Walk Down Memory Lane with Antique Autos

Redwood City, CA - February 20, 2004 - The Mid Peninsula Old Time Auto Club will be exhibiting antique cars from the early 1900s through the 1960s in the parking lot adjoining the Redwood City Public Library, on the corner of Jefferson and Middlefield Roads, on Sunday, March 7th from 1 to 5 pm. The community is invited to take a close look at these lovingly restored cars – and, it’s a great opportunity to get information from club members about the cars and car restoring. The event is free and promises a great time for kids, families, adults, and seniors!

In addition to the exhibit, the library will mount a special Antique Auto display on the mezzanine of the Main Library featuring photographs from the Local History Room and books from the library collection from March 1 to March 7. For many years, the club has exhibited their cars in conjunction with the Local History Room.

The Redwood City Public Library offers many free programs for children, adults, and families, and helps our community to “understand the past, prepare for the future, and thrive in the present.” For more information about library events and services you may pick up a calendar in any Redwood City library, visit the library’s home page at www.redwoodcity.org/library, or call 780-7026.
