Actually, the real Lillian H. Smith (1887-1983) would be turning 128 this year, but we celebrated two decades of Lillian H. Smith branch at 239 College Street on Saturday, October 17.
It was a fun and festive day, with good vibes travelling over all five floors of the library. Many people came for the Book Sale.
And stayed to marvel at the 3D printer demonstration (can you spot the Deathly Hallows badges in the background?).
Alice in Wonderland was on hand.
And children and families enjoyed watching the puppet show Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock.
Christina Wong launched her Story Project, and of course there was cake!
We also welcomed special guests Peter Sutherland and Paul Oberst from the office of Phillip H. Carter, architect, and Ludzer Vandermolen, sculptor.
Ludzer brought us some fascinating photographs from his private collection, taken during the design and construction of the griffin sculptures. I promise to add them to a blog post in the near future. Thanks for celebrating with us!
