BEST WISHES IN THE NEW YEAR!
Sandusky Library welcomes the opportunity to host the exhibit “Anne Frank: A History for Today” in February with support from the Center for Peace Through Understanding. This special exhibit connects past to present and supports Sandusky’s “Welcoming City” Resolution, fostering respect of others. Please join us for a variety of related programs on this theme. The Library continued to provide ongoing care and maintenance to its historic facilities in 2018. We replaced the roof and made necessary repairs to the front porch of the former jail at the Library, and replaced outdated security equipment throughout the building. At the Follett House Museum we repaired the widow’s walk pilot house and roof deck. Both buildings received attention to their fire safety equipment. The Follett House received a new sprinkler head on its fire suppression system. In November the Library experienced an emergency water leak in the lower level from a failure in its fire suppression system, which ultimately required replacing a large section of pipe. Thanks to the quick and levelheaded response from staff, maintenance workers, and emergency personnel, damage was contained and minimized. We will celebrate the theme “Libraries=Strong Communities” during National Library Week, April 7-13, 2019. Welcome spring!

ANNE FRANK: A HISTORY FOR TODAY The Lange Trust of Sandusky Library, with the support of The Center for Peace Through Understanding and the Mylander Foundation, will be bringing the traveling exhibit “Anne Frank: A History for Today” to the Sandusky Library from February 1-28. “Anne Frank: A History for Today” was developed by the Anne Frank House and is sponsored in North America by the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect. The photographs used in the exhibit and in promotion are from AFF/AFH - Basel/ Amsterdam©. The exhibit tells the powerful story of a young girl hiding from the Nazis during WWII through photographs, letters, and her diary. The exhibit has been hosted by 10,000 organizations throughout the country who encourage its audience to think about Anne Frank and the world she lived in, including anti-Semitism, discrimination, and persecution, as well as the positive story of resistance to these evils.
Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.” - Anne Frank
