We're turning 50...

...but we certainly don't look a day over 30! :-)

The Hiawatha Public Library is turning 50 this year! Can you believe it?! In honor of this momentous occasion, we are taking some time to celebrate (read: party hardy) with an open house on Tuesday, September 20th from 4-6pm. Of course there will be cake (did you really think I'd plan a party without food). As well as some fun giveaways (which shall remain a secret until a later undisclosed date). We hope you can make it! And if not, just send us flowers...or balloons...but preferably flowers! :-)

I have to say that it's been fun and a bit humbling to plan this party. For one, it's been amazing to see just how much we've changed in grown in just 50 short years. We started out so very, very small and we've grown (although we're still pretty small) exponentially since then. I've posted questions on our adult Facebook page asking our fans on there to tell us what the Hiawatha Library means to them. The responses have been overwhelmingly positive and heartfelt! We really do love our patrons and it's nice to know that they love us right back! I really do hope to see everyone at our celebration on the 20th!
