'Turnback Tuesday' (on Wednesday) highlights bookplates


Turnback Tuesday remembers the Wood family. 
The photo shows H. Holton Wood Book Plates (label). They were glued to the inside front cover of a book, particularly a book donated by the Wood family to the Library. These bookplates and many like them were a way to acknowledge who the donor was. 
The Library has several of the books donated by the Wood family in its collection. H. Holton Wood died May 10, 1912.


Thanks as always to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
