From early days, the Friends had always wanted to provide some kind of significant memorial to honor all those hard-working individuals who helped get this library off the ground during the 1981 through 1992 period. After much discussion and thought, it was decided that the window facing south at the end of the Library main room would be the place for a stunning stained-glass window depicting the principles for which they stood: “To make books and information available to all regardless of race, color or creed.”
The window was designed and commissioned by the Friends. It has been constructed and installed by Ray Kraemer, a local retired Lutheran pastor, with the help of Treldon Bohls and Scott Spears. Jan Spears designed the window and prepared the blueprint drawings. Audrey Dearing served as the coordinator on behalf of the Friends. The window was two years in actual production. There are sixteen 4′ X 4′ panels, all of stained glass. The four center panels depict the children holding hands. The exterior border resembles open books of rainbow colors.
