pollard memorial library
from jack kerouac posted in literature by speedy_dee
Formerly known as the Lowell Public Library, this library has been open since 1845. Jack Kerouac used to skip school at least once a week to read books by Shakespeare, Victor Hugo, William Penn, and scholarly books on chess.
From Maggie Casidy:
"It was how I'd become interested in old classical looking library books, some of them falling apart and from the darkest shelf in the Lowell Public Library, found there by me in my overshoes at closing time."

American author Willa Cather lived in Red Cloud, NE starting in 1884 at the age of nine. She used the town for several settings in her novels (including Black Hawk in My Ántonia).
Since then, twenty buildings in Red Cloud have been added to the National Historic Register because of their connection to the work of the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, the largest such distinction for any American author.
