On Saturday, local historian Bill Donath was the guest speaker at the first event of the Lincoln Public Library Sesquicentennial year of events. He shared several interesting details including that the library was founded as a temperance movement with the hopes that it and reading would take the place of saloons, pool halls and barber shops. It was also shared that the library was housed in several locations prior to the construction of the Carnegie building, including city hall.
