August in Antarctica Gets Warm Reception

People flock to Richard Byrd Library’s 55th Anniversary Celebration.

The Richard Byrd Library recently held a warm celebration for the Antarctic explorer for whom it was named. The library’s 55th anniversary celebration brought community members together to learn more about Byrd and the South Pole, and to appreciate the great impact the explorer had on the nation. The first of the two celebratory components was a talk by author Guy Guthridge, who was avidly received by a group of more than 115 adults. Guthridge discussed the life and legacy of Byrd, and explained his extraordinary expeditions in the South Pole.
