Kewanna Union Township Public Library is very excited to receive a grant from Arrow Head Country RC & D. The grant will be used for the purchase of bat house kits for library patrons. The library will have a program explaining the conservation and economic benefits of bats by Tony Carroll, DNR Wildlife Biologist. After the bat presentation, patrons will assemble the bat houses to take home. This program will take place in October and details will be announced at a later date. Kewanna Union Township Public Library is partnering with Fulton County Soil & Water Conservation District for this special event. #fultoncountysoilandwaterconservationdistrict

Cole Brothers Circus by Shirley Willard

Fulton County Historian, Shirley Willard, will be sharing her knowledge of the Cole Brothers Circus and its connection to Fulton County, Indiana on Wed., March 8 @ 11:00 in Kewanna Union Township Public Library.

Willard says Cole Brothers was one of the last traditional circuses to use the big top tents and travel by railroad.  In the winter, the performers and animals lived in Rochester. In the summer, the show would travel the rails, setting up tents and performing around the county.
