Esther Ficken Week, April 5-11, 2009, continues through Saturday at the library. Esther was a member of the Melvin Junior Woman’s Club that originally founded the library, one of the first Library Board of Trustee members and has been a lifelong supporter of the library.
In Esther’s honor, the Vicki Myron book Dewey: The Small Town Library Cat Who Touched the World has been added to the collection. Dewey (full name Dewey Readmore Books) is the delightful story of how an abandoned kitten brought a rural Iowa community together.
National Library Week, April 12-18, begins next week and we have gifts for the public to say thanks for your patronage these first 75 years. We also have book displays and a free book giveaway so stop by and visit the library soon!
