Titanic Display Commemorates Anniversary

On April 15, 1912, the RMS Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean after colliding with an iceberg. An estimated 1,517 people perished, and the public’s fascination was forever caught by the tragic event.

This year marks the 100-year anniversary of the Titanic’s sinking. To commemorate the date, the library has a display of items reminiscent of and connected to the event. Books on the Titanic and the legends and controversy surrounding it are also on display and available to be checked out. Visit our display and check out books on what is perhaps the most famous sea tragedy ever.
