April 2008

The Adelia M. Russell Library is proud to add to our collection a Bevelle/Avondale Memories area. This is in our Genealogy Room on the main floor of the library.

Included in the presentation are bound “Avondale Sun” newspapers, pictures of the area that are priceless from a wonderful era. There are pictures from the mill and also a large number of pictures from the community. They are of young and old people enjoying life in a simpler time. Memorabilia is also here for your enjoyment.

On February 12, 2008 the library hosted a Valentine's program "Ballads and Versesof Love" featuring Runas C. Powers, III accompanied by Marche Webb on guitar.  Mr. Powers  recited several poems from his new book Heart, Soul & Rhyme. There were 64 in attendance.  Everyone received an early Valentine's Day treat courtesy of the Adelia M. Russell Library.
