reception on Saturday, August 18,
from 2:30 to4 p.m. at the Library.
John Steinke, designer of the

drawings and designs and will
also be honored at this very
special party, the final event of
Mary Lenox’ Centennial
program, celebrating the
Library's 100th birthday in April
1990.
Barbara Stroup is an
accomplished writer who put
aside her own personal writing
endeavors to organize 25 years of
material for the Centennial Book.
For two years, she perused old
minutes. Bookmarks, news
releases, letter, and documents,
weaving together the story of The
Lanier Library from 1965 to 1990.
Mrs. Stroup has been writing
most of her life (she wrote her
first story at nine!). Although she
has been writing stories
and publishing newspaper and
magazine articles, she did not
begin writing seriously until
fifteen years ago when she began
to specialize in children’s books.
Her work has been recognized
by her professional colleagues.
Twice she was awarded first
prize for juvenile fiction by the
TarHeel Writers Roundtable. She
was also the recipient of two first
prizes in a juvenile fiction contest
