Best Place to Pick Up the Weekly
The library
Did you know P.T. Barnum’s career as a showman extended well beyond popularizing the circus? He also used his showmanship for purposes of the public good, like parading 21 elephants and 17 camels across the Brooklyn Bridge to prove that it was stable. And he was also a newspaper guy, starting his career as publisher of the Herald of Freedom in Connecticut. We only know this stuff thanks to the library, whichever branch you frequent – there are county, city and academic libraries. Whether you’re looking for a copy of the latest edition of the Monterey County Weekly, an archived article from a 1988 Weekly or trying to learn some trivia about Barnum, your local library has you covered.
