The Le Mars Public Library is wrapping up their 150th Anniversary celebrations with a Library Bash tomorrow night, featuring live music, food, games, and family fun. Librarian Kara Hitchler explained more about the library’s final anniversary event this year to KLEM.
Over the last 150 days, the library has celebrated 150 years of operation with a wide variety of events and activities, ranging from design contests to reading events.
Library service in Le Mars started in 1876 as a paid membership service, with the city taking over operations in 1885. Hitchler says the anniversary celebrations have helped to highlight the many services the library provides beyond just providing books.
The Library Bash will be held tomorrow evening at the Le Mars Public Library from 5-7pm.
