First, did you know that the library building is turning 100?!?! Our building, which originally housed the First National Bank, was built in 1913 after the first bank building burned in 1912. We still have the original marble countertops, coffered ceilings, and vault doors. The Friends of the Library will be serving cookies and punch to celebrate and we will have displays featuring the history of the library.
We will also be introducing our Seed Sharing Library on Saturday. We are beginning the process of gathering locally acclimated, heirloom seeds. In the spring, we will have seeds available for "check out." We hope that after you take seeds to plant, at the end of the growing season, you will be able to return some seeds back to us to maintain the library. On Saturday we will be introducing the concept of a Seed Sharing Library in greater detail. Below is some information that Lisa has put together about our Seed Sharing Library:
