Library board member Caroline Babylon in the middle, and Carroll County Public
Library board member Joyce Davis Muller on the right, cut a cake at the
Westminster branch of the library to help celebrate the 65th

today as the Carroll County Public Library. Photo by Del. Susan Krebs.
Look for a similar photograph by Carroll County Public
Library’s communications specialist Jennifer Boatman on an excellent article
about this event by Carroll County Times writer, Michel Elben in the Monday,
May 2nd, edition of the Carroll County Times. Find her article here:

Caroline, and I joined many friends, colleagues, and
community leaders, and the fantastic staff of the Carroll Co. Public Library
for a celebration of Mr. and Mrs. Walter H. Davis’ contributions to our
community.
Jennifer Boatman also produced an excellent video in which
local folks shared their memories of the Davis Library. The video debuted at the Davis Day ceremonies today, just after lunch as approximately 45 folks
braved a spring shower and chilly temperatures to attend the historic downtown Westminster
event; one of many recently developed by the Carroll County Public Library.
Many could not agree more with what Del. Susan Krebs said on
her Facebook page, “Celebrated Davis Day at the Westminster library, honoring
Walter H. Davis who started the first public library in Carroll County in 1951.
What a legacy he left to Carroll Countians!”
Thank you Del. Susan Krebs, Mark Krebs, and Commissioners
Dennis Frazier, and Stephen Wantz, and Kathy Zepp Wantz, Paul Zimmermann, for
always taking the time, often away from your families, in spite of extremely
busy schedules; to show - up at our community events.
A big thank you goes out to the staff and board of the
Carroll County Public Library for all your hard work on developing so many arts
and cultural community and social events for Carroll County; including folks
such as Kati Hoffman, Jennifer Boatman, Lisa Picker, Tony Eckard, and Lynn
Wheeler.
