Cooper – West Branch June 17, 2010 at 11:33 am

I liked going to the Hoover Library. My favorite thing was going into the stacks. I also liked when we figured if it was an artifact or replica.

Claire – West Branch June 17, 2010 at 11:41 am

Thank you so much for letting us have a sneak peek at the stacks. It was very interesting knowing that there were that many important documents in a small town like West Branch. Hearing about the stories about Laura and Rose sending the stories back and forth were my favorite part though.
Again, thank you so much for letting us hear and see all of those important documents.
Sincerely, Claire

Thank you so much for showing us how to sort and categorize pictures, it was very informational! When we looked at Laura Ingalls Wilder files (they must be very precious) I was honored that we could see them. All together, it was very fun and hilarious. When you told us that there was a recipe for an atomic bomb, that was the funniest.
