Program Ideas?
The Friends' Board is always interested in new ideas for educational programs that may be put on at the Eager Free Public Library.Right now, there seems to be an increasing local interest in the American Civil War. The 150th anniversary of the start of that war will be upon us soon. (South Carolina seceded from the Union in December 1860, and rebel forces fired on the US Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor in April 1861 shortly after Lincoln's inauguration.) Any local amateur historians who would be interested in sharing some of their knowledge of the war, and especially Wisconsin's (and Evansville's!) role in it, are invited to contact the Friends to discuss the possibility of making a presentation at the library in the next year or so. We're indebted to Friend Jennifer Ehle for suggesting this possibility to us.
Other ideas for programs are always welcome too. Please let us know what kinds of programs you might like to either present or attend at your local public library. Thanks!
