February 13, 2015 – J.K. Williams Distilling: Craftsmanship –
Passion - Flavor
The descendants of
Prohibition-era, bootleg whiskey-making master, J.K. Williams, felt
a certain responsibility to bring craft whiskey and bourbon-making
back to the Peoria area. Their great-great-grandpa was a family man
with an extraordinary work ethic and an undeniable talent for making
some of the best whiskey of his time. Join us as members of the
Williams family share the story of how they opened their East
Peorial-based distillery business in 2013. We’ll taste test some of
their products and the evening’s menu will feature slices of Whiskey
Apple Pie. Cheers!

2015 – Circulating Design
For over a hundred years the
city of Atlanta has enjoyed a unique Library environment. Travel
back as we take an in-depth look at how the Library has changed and
developed over the years. From its humble beginnings as a few
shelves stored at the newspaper office to a collection of over 9,000
books housed in the state's only octagonal library, we will examine
our small-town’s dedication to maintaining this center of knowledge
and expanded horizons. Join us as we delve into the history of the
Atlanta Library and get a glimpse of its possible future.
