The above information is essentially the same information that was in the press release printed on

Pages B-1 & B-3 of the Tuesday April 5 Sun-Gazette.

April 10-16 is National Library Week and the James V. Brown Library wants people to kick up their heels as they kickoff a weeklong celebration of libraries, literacy and learning.

"Last year's open house was so successful we wanted to do it again bigger and better," says Art Kline, Chair of the library's SeniorNet Coordinating Council.  "The biggest difference this year is that the library will be open.  Last year's Sunday was a special event but with the return of Sunday hours we hope to attract attendees of all ages."  SeniorNet joins the library in sponsoring these programs.
