Eagle Rock Public Library 1928 Donated by the Eagle Rock Valley Historical Society Restored with a gift from Dr. Karen Glasgow and Dr. Sharron Murphy In jazz-age America, every business felt the pressure to modernize with the latest technology, neon. Few businesses went without it including public agencies such as city libraries. This simple hand-painted sign is fronted with crenelated steel for extra strength and support.
