Come to the library on or around February 12th to celebrate the 200th anniversary of our 16th president's birth! Abraham Lincoln remains one of this country's most beloved president's and the library holds a treasure trove of materials about his life and times. In addition to the very popular Team of Rivals (due to Barack Obama's influence), we have many books on the great man including a new biography written by George McGovern (yes, that McGovern), Abraham Lincoln by Pulitizer Prize winning author James M. McPherson and much, much more. Be sure to check out the special display set up in the main area of the library honoring this extraordinary man.

The stars must have really been in alignment on February 12, 1809 as another of the world's most famous people, Charles Darwin, was born only minutes apart from Lincoln. We are honoring the anniversary of Mr. Darwin's birth with a display of works on his life at the rear of the library.
