Join us at the Barbara Bush Branch Library for a trip into the (not so) distant past!

Ever wondered how we played games on the computer before Roblox? Technology, appliances, and everyday objects change over time. Sometimes, it's fast and we have to race to keep up and sometimes it's so slow that when we look back we can't recognize what we used to use every day.

Discover new old objects and unearth their stories from our past.
