Author Bill Jamerson Coming to Fairbury

Monday, April 8th at 6:30 p.m. the library will host Bill Jamerson, author of Big Shoulders, who will present his program "Dollar a Day Boys." In song and story he tells the tale of the boys of the Civilian Conservation Corps. The CCC was one of the relief programs for the unemployed, part of President Roosevelt's "New Deal." Fairbury had a CCC camp on the current site of the fairgrounds. Join us at the Rock Island Depot Museum for this look at a part of Fairbury's past.
