BRENDA BEREZAN & BARRY HERTZ at Forestburg Library's PUBLIC LIBRARIES 100 YEARS EVENT
It was 100 years ago - in March 1907 - that the Government of Alberta created the first Libraries Act - making it possible for public libraries to begin providing services to Albertans. Today there are over 300 libraries across the province.
In celebration of this event, Forestburg Library hosted Brenda Berezan and Barry Hertz, singer/songwriters from the Yukon and Calgary respectively, at Big Knife Villa on August 16. Brenda and Barry - on their first tour together - treated the crowd to many of their own compositions and some old favourites too. There were book draws and refreshments enjoyed by all. Thanks to Edith Jesswein for hosting, Carl Jahns for sound, Big Knife Villa for the facility and providing coffee, and to the board members and Friends of the Library volunteers who help set up and brought goodies.
