We're Having So Much Fun With "Our Memory Wall"

During our 100-Year Celebration in May, we posted on the wall of the Willcoxon Auditorium a few pictures from an old scrapbook of library events. Everyone had so much fun trying to identify the people in the pictures.
Well, we've put "Our Memory Wall" up again in conjunction with Family History Month. This time it's in the long, white hallway between the Ellen Payne Odom Genealogy Library and the main library. Right out there where everyone can see it!
And we're having so much fun with it!
We hear people chattering as they recognize someone they know. Sometimes we hear people laughing as they remember a person. Often we see a person standing and studying a picture up close, as if to see some really small item in the picture or get a closer look at a face.
Always we thank them for looking at the wall and encourage them to write the name on the picture of a person they can identify.
These are pictures of our library family. These are pictures of:

• Anne McKee and Hazel Wade at the circulation counter,
• Lorene Harrell with the Culbertson Head Start,
• Catherine Bryant, Lucille Dunn, Dorothy Richardson, Elois Matthews, and Hildred Lewis with the Bookmobile.
• There are pictures of children in the reading area, Bookmobile stops in 1963, a downtown parade, a groundbreaking ceremony, the summer reading club and storytime in 1975, as well as a couple of presentations.
• Some of the other people identified in the pictures are Lanelle (Gregory) Plaza, Aline McKee, Walter Norman, Barbara Vereen, Mary Jo Stone, Julianne Chambliss, Ann Alderman, and Mayor Willy Withers.

The next time you're in the Moultrie-Colquitt County Library, stop by "Our Memory Wall." See if there is anyone you can identify. And if you're old enough, you might find a picture of yourself!!!

October is Family History Month. We're sharing our Library Family and special memories with you.
