Our tenth birthday

The Ettrick Public Library was officially opened during Ettrick Fun Days in 1999. This year marked our tenth anniversary. Several Ettrick Kids passed out jazzy pens to people viewing the parade. On the library cart, pushed through town by the librarian, was a huge birthday cake with ten candles. Happy Birthday, Ettrick Public Library!
