Ebooks, Netflix, and Library Building Projects (Part 80, Franklin Avenue Branch of the Des Moines Public Library)


Library plans feast as branch reopens. (Des Moines Register, 6/13/2011)

Excerpt: The Des Moines Public Library Foundation is again collecting donations. But this time, it's looking for donated family recipes that will be compiled into a cookbook this summer.

The foundation is planning a grand-opening celebration for the renovated Franklin Avenue Library on Aug. 20, and it's asking surrounding neighborhood residents to submit recipes for the menu.

Following its renovation, the library will reopen with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Aug. 21, but the foundation is planning a special event with what organizers are calling a "moveable feast" the day before
