MADISON, Ind. (AP) - A library in a southern Indiana city is toasting its 200th year with an open house that will kick off a year of bicentennial events.
The Jefferson County Public Library is scheduled to host a Wednesday evening reception with refreshments and a display of photos from its archive featuring Madison’s historic downtown district.
Library programming coordinator Ann Inman says the event “will be a kind of promo” for a yearlong slate of events honoring the library’s bicentennial in the Ohio River city that’s about 40 miles northeast of Louisville, Kentucky.
