Board of trustees

In Memory of Nancy Brown

 Nancy was a board member and volunteer for over 50 years.  We will miss her dearly.

The following was shared by Donald Burke at Nancy's Memorial on May 27:

In  the late 1960s the Georges Valley Grange # 196 closed, most likely from  lack of members, and the building was turned over to the Mildred  Stevens Williams Memorial Library.  At that time an active group of  volunteers built shelves, installed a furnace, improved the lighting,  did a lot of painting, and Appleton had its first library!  

The  library was open Thursday evenings and Nancy was the librarian from day  one.  Folks loved to go to the library not only to take out books, but  to chat with Nancy as well.  Closing time meant nothing to Nancy if a  patron was in the library.

The library served as a meeting place  for a 4-H club, the Appleton Historical Society, as well as other civic  and private groups. Nancy and her husband Ted were both founding members  of the Appleton Historical Society. 

Can anyone remember a Thursday night at the Appleton Library without Nancy Brown there to greet them?  Probably not.
