Notes from the Executive Director In 1952, the Northbrook community voted to start a library. It almost didn’t happen and won by only six votes. The library is now celebrating 70 years, proving every vote really does count. Since the library was founded, we have seen many inventions to improve our lives from the polio vaccine to the microwave oven. Man has walked on the moon, and we now carry the internet on little devices in our pockets. But one of my favorite inventions of the past 70 years is Post-it® Notes, which were discovered after a failed attempt at making a stronger adhesive. So much has changed, but one thing will always remain the same: the library’s commitment to serving our community and providing you with access to information to keep you informed about the changing world around us. To learn more about the library’s history, turn to page 10. I look forward to seeing what comes next. Kate Hall Executive Director
