The DVD section in the lower level Fiction Room of the Mill Valley Public Library, June 30, 2011.
Fact #88: In 1988 and 1989, the Friends of the Library held a successful fund raising drive to raise $6000 for the purchase of the 20-cassette Classic Video Collection from PBS. The MacArthur Foundation donated 90% of the total cost of the series to all libraries that could raise the remaining 10%. The series included such classics as The Ascent of Man, I Claudius, and The Story of English. The FOL's campaign spurred the donation of two other video series: Smith & Hawken donated Paul Hawken's 10-part series "Growing a Business"; and the Sierra Club donated their 10-part series on wildlife.
Fact #89: October 1926 was one of the busiest months to date in the history of the Mill Valley Public Library. This was thought to be due to the new requirement in Mill Valley public schools that all students must read one book from the Library and review it before they could be promoted to the next grade.
