SPOTLIGHT ON THE LIBRARY
JANUARY 8, 2002

When you enter the library building, you see the main desk with David A. Howe’s portrait hovering above it and the staff members helping patrons find materials. You see shelves filled with books, old and new, and audiocassettes, videos, CD’s, and more. The numerous computers catch your eye, as do the seasonal displays. You may see people in each room browsing the shelves or chatting with each other. Eventually, you may find your way to the wing of the building that houses the children’s materials. There, children use the computers and check out books and other materials of interest to youth. What don’t you see? What is behind the closed doors in the library? What’s hidden on the upper and lower floors? You may also wonder who David A. Howe was or who built the library building. Who was the architect? When was the library built? If any of these questions has crossed your mind during your visits to the David A. Howe Public Library, then you will want to check out what’s happening this year.

"Spotlight on the Library" is a news article written by Marisa C. Hall and published bi-weekly in the Wellsville Daily Reporter. Marisa is a senior clerk at the library.

     Each year the library offers tours of the library building to the public. This year, rather than only giving a few tours during National Library Week, one tour will be given each month throughout the year. Led by a library staff member or volunteer, these tours will show all the places in the library you never knew existed, and teach some history of the building you may never have known.
