The Library is dedicating a book in its collection to the memory of Mr. Louis G. Boccetti. In addition to being a frequent Library patron and regular attendee of Library programming, Mr. Boccetti volunteered for the Library for several years. Library staff and patrons alike benefited from knowing Mr. Boccetti, and he is greatly missed. Pictured is Mr. Boccetti's wife, Mrs. Daisy Boccetti, being presented with the book The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture: Literature by Agnes W. Ho, Director of Libraries. |
