Marilyn Brown Remembered

Celebrate art, life, and children this Saturday morning at 11:00 a.m. at Herrick District Library. An art work titled “The Windows” will be dedicated in memory of former children’s librarian Marilyn Brown. 

Marilyn was employed by Herrick District Library for over 33 years before she died in May of 2011.  She was responsible for planning and overseeing all children’s and teen programs at Herrick, as well as the selection of all children’s materials, and the supervision of staff.  

Adam Dahlstrom, the artist, is a graduate of Grand Valley State University.  The memorial is made possible by the board of Herrick District Library through the library endowment.  Pictured here is the original artist's rendering which helped a selection committee to choose Dahlstrom's piece.  Visit the upper level of the main library to view the finished product during the dedication or any time afterward.

The event will take place in the Children’s Area on the upper level of the main library located at 300 S. River Ave.
