PJ Capps, Atchison Library Director, presents State Library Director Christie Brandau with a memento of her visit to Atchison Library.  Mrs. Brandau stated, “I’ve heard such good things about what the library is doing here in Atchison that I just wanted to see first hand.”  She was given a tour of the library and visited with several members of the staff and library board before heading back to Topeka.
