Library’s impact goes beyond books
Libraries are synonymous with books. That is a given. I was curious, so I did an informal social media poll and asked people what they thought of when they heard the word “library.” The responses were pleasantly surprising: peace, comfort, services, information and community were repeatedly mentioned.

BACK THEN
20 YEARS AGO: NEWS FROM THE ISSUE OF FEB. 24, 2005 Five downtown Litchfield buildings were damaged by fire Friday afternoon that started in an apartment above the former Papa Sluigee’s pizza place at 225 Sibley Ave. N. The fire was most likely caused by an overloaded circuit, according to Litchfield Fire Chief Tagg Magnuson. Larry Ackerman, who said he is involved in ownership of the building, did not know what would happen to it. He said he was waiting for insurance and other information. The two apartments on the second floor of the building share a stairway and hallway with an apartment above the Heartland Community Action Agency building at 223 Sibley Ave. N. Though the fire was contained in one apartment, significant smoke damage made all three apartments uninhabitable, Magnuson said.

They used catapults for launching rocks against or over the walls. Battering rams were used to break through the gates. Scaffolding was placed against castle walls so the enemy could breach them.
