The annual ‘Wish Tree Book’ program is in full swing with the Friends of the Seward Library. A Holiday tree is decorated with ‘Wish Tree Book’ cards, and are available to Seward Library Museum patrons and Seward community to sponsor books for the children’s, youth and young adult shelves. In 2018, the Friends goal of 100 new books was met, through generous community sponsorship. Twenty dollars per book, sponsors may choose more than one book, there is no limit. We are looking to meet and exceed our goal of 100 new books for Seward’s youth this year. With three locations for sponsorship cards to be picked up:

The last 'walk' of the season, the Friends displayed 18 handmade art pieces from our Sister City, Obihiro, Japan. The art work was in a box unlabeled when the Collection Committee for the Friends of the Seward Library's historical and archives were working on our collections inventory. While they looked to be Japanese writing on the art, it was confirmed during this years visit from our Sister City Obihiro, Japan. During a community pot luck dinner for the exchange students and adults, the art was displayed and all of the writing was translated! We would like to thank the students and adults that helped with the translating. Community enjoyed viewing this artwork again on 1st Friday, there were many questions about the Sister City program. Friends also had a black and white photo album available of pictures of Obihiro presented to Seward in 1967. |
