Yesterday, I did my first official book tour. The Iowa: An Explorer's Guide road show traveled to Greene, Iowa to speak at the Librarians of Butler County annual meeting. First, let me say, that there is not a nicer group of people than the Librarians of Butler County, and the Greene, Iowa Library is a gorgeous building that is celebrating 25-years. It also managed to escape the flooding that devastated the towns along the the Shell Rock River in 2008. Thank goodness.Greene, Iowa has a lovely railroad park with the old depot, old railroad equipment, an outhouse, and a 100-year old Limestone Building on sight. If you are interested in our railroad history, Greene is worth a visit. I didn't get a chance to eat a meal in Greene, but I've heard that the bakery is delicious. The librarians eat there every day. Billy and I also took a tour of the cemetery while we killed time (yuck, yuck) before the meeting. I liked the foreboding shot, included above.
