The Grant County Library in Ulysses hosted the Governor of Kansas today! Director Frances Roberts, her staff and her board members gave Governor Sebelius and me a tour of the library. After the tour, a reception was held to welcome the Governor to Ulysses.
Outstanding features of this beautiful library include a large young adult section next to the "Perks" library coffee shop, a comfy reading area next to a fireplace, and an outstanding children's area including an aquarium. And the library provides wireless access to the Internet!
After the tour and reception, I was priviledged to sit in on a very interesting talk and discussion on the book Great Plains by Ian Frazier. Dr. Jim Hoy from Emporia State University led the discussion; Dr. Hoy specializes in the literature and folklore of the Great Plains and was a wonderful presenter. The program was sponsored by the Kansas Humanities Council in cooperation with the Grant County Library.
Things are happening in southwestern Kansas!
