Documentary Screening
Free for All: The Public Library tells the story of the quiet revolutionaries who made a simple idea happen. From the pioneering women behind the “Free Library Movement” to today’s librarians who serve the public despite working in a contentious age of closures and book bans, meet those who created a civic institution where everything is free and the doors are open to all.

Author Talk
Veda Rogers will be at the library on Thursday, April 30, at 2:00PM She will be talking about her book A Grand Day: The Forgotten Voice of a Farm Woman Through Dust, Depression, and War.
These published diaries of Louisa “Lulu” Ehrichs Schwanbeck chronicle her life and work on her farm in western Kansas spanning the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, and World War II.
This rare collection of diaries tells the individual story of one woman while also giving voice to the lives and experiences of countless women in twentieth-century rural America that have often been forgotten to history.
