Troy Public Library Back by popular demand! Once again, the Troy Public Library is offering for sale a local history calendar featuring text, photos and line drawings from the library's extensive Troy Room collection. The 1998 edition is off the press and ready for sale. The calendar contains some of Troy's most significant scenes and events, as well as some lesser known dates and stories of interest. For example, did you know in 1917, Troy was second in the nation only to San Francisco in its Home Garden Program. The extensive victory gardens, planted as part of the war effort to produce food and conserve resources, were overseen by school district officials. The Library's staff began work on the 1998 calendar last spring and spent many hours in the Troy Room at the Main Library searching through both primary and secondary source material. The calendar has two primary purposes according to Paul Hicok, director of the Library. It demonstrates the rich history of our city as seen through the library's comprehensive local history collection, and it raises funds for the operation of the Library. The 1998 calendar will be for sale at the library and its branches and at various retailers throughout the area for $10.00 or you can order directly from the library at 100 Second Street, Troy, NY 12180. Please add $1.50 for shipping and handling. Contact Paul Hicok at 274-7071. In cooperation with Troy United Ink Corp., a not-for-profit corporation
