The Alpine branch is one of the oldest in the system and was  represented at the 1934 organizational meeting for countywide library service  by Mrs. G.S. Felt. Currently in its fourth location, the library is still  located in &amp;quot;the Ridge,&amp;quot; Kent   County's prime fruit  growing area.&lt;/p&gt;
