Best Wishes Emma Lee

Emma Lee Lahmeyer will be retiring from the Keokuk Public Library on June 30th. She's been there for 32 years, serving as director for the last 8. Her latest project at Keokuk has been the addition of an elevator and accompanying space to accommodate the Keokuk Art Center, a unique blending of art and library in one building. A plaque in memory of Shirley Dick, former Keokuk Library Director and a major donor to the project is hung in the Art Center foyer. The dedication of the Center was held June 4th along with the acquisition and hanging of a major piece of art by Stan Weiderspan called "Convergence".
Emma Lee also oversaw complete renovation of the entire library. Good luck Emma Lee!
