What a joy it was to work with Jim Davis on the Gail Borden Public Library's 150th anniversary book, Celebrating 150 Years of Service: A Loving Snapshot. His unique and thorough approach captured the spirit and essence of our library's rich history through factual stories, pictures, quotes, and by highlighting significant events. This book will become a treasured resource for years to come.

In the Gail Borden Public Library's book, Celebrating 150 Years of Service: A Loving Snapshot, author Jim Davis of Editing for Life helped us achieve the book's purpose: to capture how the Elgin-area community is served through the library's uniqueness and inclusivity. That story is told by showcasing moments in time through words and photos that feature the many ways our library intentionally connects with our diverse population.
