The same day, the women met with library science students in seminar. It was a glorious day, bringing together authors, children, teachers and practicing professionals. The 1973 idea was a good one. Hours of work go into preparation of this kind of endeavor. Library student aides and students in library science program experienced the activities that were necessary to fulfill each year's program.
Life goes on but it also changes.
New administration came into the library and there was a renovation of philosophies and services. Mrs. Archer retired from her position at Polk Library in the fall of 1975. The award program continued as a Part of the EMC service. Mrs. Archer volunteered her time to help me with the administration of the award. The following year I resigned my position.
