Special
Screening of ‘California of the Past’ Stories, June 28
The
public is invited to view selected personal memories of Sacramento’s

the Past” digital story project at the Sacramento Central Library.
The viewing will be at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 28, in the Sacramento
Room at the Central Library, 828 I Street, Sacramento.
This special screening will feature local residents who volunteered to have their

hear in the Sacramento Room’s historical archives. The event will also
recognize and celebrate those who have shared their “California of the
Past” stories in the past year.
The project is made possible through a grant provided by the California State
Library. Reservations to attend the June 28 program should be made by June 23
by calling the Sacramento Public Library at (916) 264-2920 or e-mailing sacramentostories@saclibrary.org.
