The library has welcomed visitors from all over Illinois and 4 different
states. We are thankful to the many people who have volunteered to
be docents, as there have been nearly 500 people who have already
taken tours during the exhibit’s first month.
The library is able to bring these world-class exhibits to this
community due to supporters. We thank the Gail Borden Public
Library Foundation, Elgin State Bank, EFS Foundation, SEIGLE Family
Foundation, Palmer Foundation and KCT Credit Union for making
