    Clara VanderStaay, great-great grandaughter of Hiram Rich, the original post sutler, cuts the ribbon for a free neighborhood library with Judy Woodward, currrent resident of the Sutler House, which was built by Rich in 1841, June 2 on Scott Avenue. The little library’s door plaque reads “The best books are shared. Take books: If you see something you would like to read, take it! Share books: Pass them on to a friend or return to any free library. Give books: Continue to be a friend! Share and pay it forward (when you can.)” Woodward said several people had already visited the library and exchanged books the next morning. Photo by Prudence Siebert/Fort Leavenworth Lamp
