Boing Boing: Tiny library in a one woman Nebraskan town
Next time you're in Monowi, Nebraska (Pop. 1) be sure to visit the picturesque library.
The people of Monowi have died or moved — all but one: Elsie Eiler. Brisk and unsentimental at 71, she lives in the one home still fit for living in, a snug trailer with worn white siding. She runs the one business left in Monowi, a dark, wood-paneled tavern, thick with smoke. She also runs the library. The sign outside is painted on a section of a refrigerator door. The floor is bare plywood. There's no heat. But there are thousands upon thousands of books.
Question for LibraryStories readers--Do you know the name of the smallest community with a library in Oklahoma?
