I asked around and the first suggestion was to try to talk to previous owners. You could search the address here: http://www.co.palm-beach.fl.us/PAPA/index.htm -- that page might give you info about previous owners. Also searching newspaper databases (available at our site under "Electronic Databases") for the address might turn up something. I would also suggest emailing grs@pbclibrary.org and asking them - good luck!

oh no! We missed that and we are ALWAYS at the Library! I'm sure the Library didn't want to "promote" it too much to keep the crowds to a minimum...

We actually promoted this one mostly at the Wellington Branch and on our own website here: http://www.pbclibrary.org/story-wel-teen-meet-author.htm -- We wish we could promote all our events on Facebook but we just have so many that it is difficult. We do have the monthly event emails that are also a good option! =)

Palm Beach County Library System To celebrate Families Reading Together, the Busch Wildlife Sanctuary brought the natural environment to our branches! Their unique wildlife program featured live animals including some of the following creatures: alligators, crocodiles, hawks, owls, snakes, skunks, opossums, and more. Children learned about the natural... history of the animals, Florida’s ecology, food chains, and endangered species.

I agree that it would be nice if events like this one would be announced on face book before they occur.

Palm Beach County Library System Journey back in time to Cross Creek, Fla., in the 1930s and 1940s. In a one-woman show, Karen De Vos, a retired teacher and school librarian, transforms herself into the beloved author and Pulitzer-Prize winner of “The Yearling” during the heyday of her writing career. Vintage clothes, props, and a slide show add authe...ntic touches to the portrayal of Rawlings’ life and provide a glimpse into how the natural beauty and the colorful “Cracker” culture of northern Florida influenced her literary works.
