Jamestown (CSi) The James River Valley Library System invites the community to celebrate the Alfred Dickey Public Library’s Centennial, February 19-22, with 100 years of service to Jamestown and Stutsman County.

Rector pointed out that the planning started in 2014, as the Board wanted to maximize the effectiveness the library’s space, along with preserving the library’s historic nature, while providing a more inviting, functional space for patrons, along with a social space.
In 2017 the board launched the Centennial Initiative to preserve the library in anticipation of the 2019 Centennial.
Joe said over the past several months the library’s restoration included the foundation, new roofing, new carpeting, wall covering, and paint, throughout, new LED lighting, and restoration of the historic front desk. Troy Gunderson provided North Dakota pictures, to make the upstairs area, more inviting.
In addition, there’s a new counter, and cabinets in the meeting room, storage for children’s programs, the new front outdoor sign, including a scrolling message board, to advertise library programs.

It features a kind donation from the Dickey Family, along with books, family pictures a Three Penny coin carried by Alfred Dickey in the Civil war, and artifacts for the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The Louis L’Amour Wall was made possible by a grant From Jamestown Tourism, to the Friends of the Library, to be dedicated on Wednesday February 20, at 6-p.m.
In the future, a room will be set aside to honor the life of Edna LaMoore Waldo, Louis’ sister, who worked in the free library room sponsored by Alfred Dickey, and spending many hours in the Alfred Dickey Free Library.

In world and national news..
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate resoundingly approved a border security compromise Thursday that ignores most of President Donald Trump’s demands for building a wall with Mexico but would prevent a new government shutdown. The White House said Trump, as he’s suggested for weeks, would quickly declare a national emergency and perhaps invoke other executive powers to try to shift money to wall-building from elsewhere in the federal budget.
House passage and Trump’s signature were assured, which for now would stamp a bipartisan coda on a nasty melee that’s dominated the initial months of power sharing in Washington.
