This year, we mark the 100th anniversary of the Columbia Public Library! Come learn about the creation of the first public library in our community. Genealogist and amateur historian Tim Dollens will discuss how the efforts of the Tuesday Club, a women's social group, were key to the library's formation, and how the League of Women Voters later helped pass a tax levy to improve and expand library services.
