October 22, 2007 Library’s 125th Anniversary Celebrated with Public Art DedicationSaint Paul Public Library’s Rice Street Branch at 1011 Rice Street in Saint Paul will be celebrating the library system’s 125th anniversary on Saturday, November 10 at 2 p.m. The dedication ceremony for the new colored glass windows installed in the northeast reading area of the library will begin at 2:30 p.m.. A local artist, Barbara Keith, designed the window mosaics using symbols that reflect the many cultures and ethnic backgrounds of the Rice Street area. Barbara organized a one-day workshop this last spring in which youth of all ages helped her assemble the glass into the windows that are now on display. Following the art dedication, a talented writer, Biloine Young, who wrote the book, A Noble Task, that chronicles the 125 year history of the Saint Paul Public Library will provide a reading at 3 p.m. After the reading, guests are invited to stay for birthday refreshments and activities that will entertain all ages.
