Austin Public Library hosted the Sesquicentennial Banner on Monday, April 28. I was prepared to go down to Austin to take pictures at the library and Gayle Heimer said she would be happy to do so for me. So I am calling this my first ‘green’ post on this weblog, and I’m very grateful to the Austin Public Library staff for making it possible.
Gayle sent us these photos of their display along with this statement: Our banner display includes copies of the book “Austin Remembers,” which was published by the Friends of the Austin Public Library in 2006 as a way to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Austin Public Library building and the City’s sesquicentennial. It includes short stories written by over 100 authors who wrote about their memories of Austin through the years. A 2008 Minnesota Legacy Grant will bring our book, and Albert Lea’s similar book entitled “Albert Lea Remembers,” to the stage as a musical this fall.
Way to go, Austin Public Library!
