This library is one of the top three libraries in the state, the Keenagers reported. It was built in 1965, and officials are in the process of a $1.9 million renovation.

David Adams opened the meeting and welcomed the members and guests. Loren Hildebrandt had a short devotion. His topic was “Jesus said, Follow me.”
Joyce Smith and Marie Helms registered members and guests as they arrived. David Adams shared the flowers that he placed in the church in memory of his late wife, Marsha. Lorena Barhite arranged the flowers for each table and the food table. The Keenager officers hosted the meeting. The food was delicious: Lasagna, tossed salad, cake, apple pie and ice cream, tea and rolls.
The April birthday honorees were David Adams, Odelle Cato, Jacqueline Roberts and Margaret Lewis. The group sang Happy Birthday to the honorees.
