Did You

Behind My
Desk… I
slipped in the news about the new library director in my last column. That was a last minute announcement I wanted
you to know about. I truly think
Meredith will be terrific for the library.
She is originally from Spencer and received her Bachelor’s Degree in
Business/Finance and just recently received her Master’s Degree in
Library/Information Science from the University of IA.
Because this will be a year of transition for
Meredith and the Atlantic Public Library, the Griswold Public Library has
graciously allowed Atlantic to co-partner with them to host the first All Cass
County Reads program for the season!
This year we are focusing in on a local author Roy Marshall. He has published several books which I’m sure
you are familiar with including:
- Villisca—the Villisca axe murders
- The Detectives—companion to Villisca about the detectives who worked the case. (out-of-print)
- The Interrogation of Reverend Kelley—another companion to Villisca has the complete all-night interrogation which led to his confession. (out-of-print)
- Alix, Queen of the Turf—famous harness racing trotter stabled in Red Oak during the 1890’s. (out-of-print)
- What Could be Grander?—History of Viking Lake.
- Southwest Iowa’s Greatest Recipes—fundraiser for Lewis Public Library (Lewis Library may have copies)
- Crystal Lake—History behind Cold Springs State Park
The first program will be on Wednesday, Oct.
17 at the Griswold Library from 12 noon to 1 p.m. (It’s part of their regular Library &
Lunch programs) You’ll need to bring
your own lunch. We (the libraries) will furnish drink & dessert! Please join us! You will also get a chance to meet Meredith
at that time, too.
Finally, I hope you have had an opportunity to
take a look at the display in the entry these last couple weeks. Kathleen Gray donated some items for our
celebration of our Constitution!
Get Ready for a Very Busy October and…Keep
Thinking Libraries!
