NOVEMBER 19, 2010
Happy Anniversary
At the Library tomorrow (Saturday November 20, 2010) we will be commemorating 25 years in the same building.  We will have tours, displays, around 3:45 pm we’ll have a few short speeches, then cake!  At 5:15 pm will be delighted by a professional storyteller!  If you are in our neighborhood, do stop in!
 
Libraries are usually built with the intent that their building will last 20 years. Today, we are hoping to do a much needed renovation project.  So I have spent more time thinking about 20 years in the future than the past.
 
For me, it’s hard to imagine 25 years in one space. I’ve seen the pictures and I have tried to walk through the Library seeing in my mind’s eye what it might have been like twenty five years ago.  I can see the brightness of the rug, space and feel the feeling of promise.  At the same time, I wonder what will people think in 2035, 25 years from now.
