Laird's Legacy: A History of the Winona Public Library
Lairds Legacy Documentary Premiere
On January 21, 1899, the Winona Free Public Library was presented to the City of Winona by local lumber baron, William Laird. Join us in celebrating his legacy 125 years later with a documentary showing of Lairds Legacy: A History of the Winona Public Library. Filmed by local documentarian, Mary Farrell, and based on the book Lairds Legacy: A History of the Winona Public Library by Greg Gaut, the film will debut to the public with three different showings: Monday, January 22nd and Thursday, January 25th both at 7pm, and Saturday, January 27th at 11am. All showings will take place at the Winona Public Library.
During the January 22nd and January 25th showings, the original 5th Street front doors will open at 6:30pm along with the accessible Johnson Street entrance. A 15-minute historic tour will be offered shortly after doors open. Have a snack and light beverage and shop Winona Public Library merchandise as well as special anniversary items. The film will begin promptly at 7pm with a question-and-answer session with Mary Farrell and library staff following the film. Both showings are free to the public but do require a ticket.
The January 27th showing will offer limited seating in the Librarys Bell Art Room but will not be ticketed.
