Amidst balloons, flowers and cake, the Ilsley Public Library last Saturday celebrated the centennial anniversary of its completion and official dedication to Colonel and Mrs. Silas A Ilsley on Sept. 25, 1924. The Ilsley Library 100th Birthday Bash also marked the start of a new chapter for the library as it moves forward with the Ilsley 100 Project, a major renovation and expansion of the library building. Activities at the event included a birthday cake bakeoff, attendees singing happy birthday to the library, a story time for children and a presentation on the history of the library.
