TSLA Closed July 3 and July 4 for Independence Day

In observance of the Independence Day holiday, the Tennessee State Library and Archives (TSLA) will be closed on Friday, July 3 and Saturday, July 4. TSLA will reopen at 8 a.m. Tuesday, July 7. With the exception of holidays, TSLA's normal operating hours are from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., Tuesdays through Saturdays.

Celebrating Independence Day is a time-honored tradition, but it's also usually a 'hot and thirsty' tradition. This photo from July 4, 1923 shows a refreshment booth at an event in Loudon.

Enjoy this photographic look back at previous 4th of July celebrations on our blog: http://tslablog.blogspot.com/2014/07/tsla-celebrates-our-independence.html and have a safe holiday!

The State Library and Archives is a division of the Tennessee Department of State and Tre Hargett, Secretary of State.
