In these times when penny-pinching is once again a necessity for libraries, the Toledo (OH) Library has found a new source of income…winning contests.
Harris-Elmore Library employees hang onto every contest application they can get, and this time it resulted in a $1,000 prize for Best D-Day Exhibit sponsored by cable’s History Channel.
The exhibit, put together by librarian Jane Hutchinson included uniforms, dog tags, mess kits, flags, Bibles, diaries, rifles, and other D-Day memorabilia borrowed from 28 area World War II veterans.
They did have to split their win with the local American Legion Post, however, but they still got a whopping $500 for their efforts. More from The Toledo Blade .
