It has been a challenging couple of years since the Friends of Neva Lomason Library in
Carrollton has been able to invite members and the public to an annual meeting. With things
considerably more normal now, they’re looking forward to hosting his year’s meeting on
Saturday, August 20, at 2 pm at the library.

According to board president Mary Jane Davis, a short report on the activities and
accomplishments of the Friends will be followed by a presentation by nationally known historian
John Ferling. Highly respected for his many books on the American Revolution and founding
era, Dr. Ferling’s talk will center on his latest tome, Winning Independence: The Decisive Years
of the Revolutionary War, 1778–1781, published last year.

The non-profit Friends of the Library operates the Barker Book House, where used book sales
average over $1,200/month, with all profits going directly to Neva Lomason Memorial Library.

The annual meeting is open to the public.
