2002 marked the Centennial of this organization. Community appreciation for the value of information has
been our tradition from modest beginnings in rooms above a general store, to
our current spacious facility. This next century will surely take us beyond
these walls to new and different ways of pursuing information and to new
meanings for libraries and their role in the community. Come grow with us as
we begin another century of service.
