Bayfield library creating oral histories
As part of a grant-funded project, the Pine River Library in Bayfield is creating oral histories of Pine River Valley residents.
With the help of local interns, library staff will record interviews with any local resident who is interested, with a focus on lifelong Bayfield-area residents. Once the interviews are recorded and edited, the library will share them online and in the library.
A September “Heritage Hub Showcase” will debut the interviews, presenting them on the library’s large movie screen.
Interested participants should call 884-2222, ext. 522 or email karen@prlibrary.org.
