Event Details

Join us for a presentation about the Wizard of Oz from Laura F. Keyes on Tuesday, July 25 at 5:30pm in the library's community meeting rooms. 

Just hearing the name “Oz” conjures up fantastic images, adventures, and heartfelt memories. So many of us can recite the plot of the famous story, but how many of us really know what went into creating it? What influences did L. Frank Baum have in his life as he created what is widely acknowledged as America’s First Fairytale? Librarian Laura F. Keyes will separate fact from fiction as she shares the fantastic story of this amazing man, who created ­The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

This event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the library's Information Desk at 641-754-5738 ext. 2.
