November 7, 2003 - Did you join in and perk right up during "Library Espresso" with "Perkin with Patty." Everyone had a "a fresh-brewed Tude" just in time for the holidays. Patty Wells Morrison, a Gering native, is a motivational speaker from Loveland and entertained for the evening. She delighted us with her tales and left us with a whole new attitude about life, the universe, and everything. November 6, 2004 - Keynote speaker was Nellene Mailander, winning author of the Nebraska Best Book for Youth 2003. Everyone enjoyed listening to her while sampling a variety of desserts catered by Sweet Basil in the Gering Library Community room.
