Friend of the Pioneer Memorial Library - Journey Stories Project Finished










The Friends of the Pioneer Memorial Library came up with idea to support the 125th Anniversary of Thomas County by having a special project. Its title was His-story, Her-story, Our-story. This project asked citizens of Thomas County to tell their story about coming to the area, the beginning of a business or organization or a special event that really exemplifies living in the area.




The Friends of the Kansas Library organization gave the Friends group a matching grant.




The Prairie Museum of Art & History worked tirelessly besides the Friends group.




The 125th Committee and the Thomas County/Colby Chamber of Commerce also helped get the word out through advertising.

The big day came and many read the many submissions!
