Memories of a Lifetime in Contra Costa County, on Facebook

A new Facebook page has been launched by the Contra Costa County Library called Memories of a Lifetime in Contra Costa County. 

"The page allows residents and anyone interested in the history of Contra Costa County to contribute to a fun and interactive local history initiative presented by the Library," according to a release.

And don't forget, you can always post your story as a blog on Patch and share that link on the "Memories" Facebook page: 

In celebration of the Library’s 100th anniversary this year, the new Facebook page is a tool for people to “remember and go” over their past experiences in the County. Each Contra Costa County community library location is hosting events throughout the year to honor the longevity of the organization that has been known for “bringing people and ideas together” over the last century.

Memories of a Lifetime in Contra Costa County will include a timeline allowing people to document where they have been in the County's last 100 years. Photographs of Contra Costa County places in the past and present will be included, in addition to interactive questions to get the community engaged and talking. Some questions will allow people to share their favorite anecdotes and martini recipes. View Memories of a Lifetime in Contra Costa County here.
