[Publib] 100th anniversary

[Bill Teschek]

When we did this back in 1981 we created a 100-year time capsule and 
invited townspeople to write letters to the future. (Be sure to put them on 
acid-free paper). I also wrote a history of the library that was published in 
the local papers. On the anniversary day we had a "birthday party" with 
performers, refreshments, speakers, etc.
