Larry and Shirley Chamberlain displayed two framed Thomas Nast drawings at the Lincoln's Day dinner. They had been published by Harper's Weekly, an American journal of literature, politics, culture and the arts that has been continuously published since 1850. The piece printed Nov. 8, 1864 reminds people to vote on election day (specifically to re-elect Abraham Lincoln) and shows Lady Liberty dropping her vote into the ballot box. The second, dated April 15, 1865, commemorates Lincoln's assassination with the figure of death hovering over a grieving warrior. Larry found the magazines in Pennsylvania and had no idea who Thomas Nast was. Nast was born in Germany and worked for Harper's from 1862 to 1886. He was the first to use animals as symbols for the political parties.

The Board of Directors for Warsaw Community Public Library has voted to begin expansion proceedings. The current library was constructed in 1915 through the Andrew Carnegie grant program. It was enlarged and remodeled in 1966. Since 1975 the number of borrowers has increased to 10,257 in 1988. Currently in 1989 the library maintains over 91,170 volumes for use plus videos, magazines, newspapers, filmstrips and reference material. Library Director Ann Zoski says the highest priority is to create the best collection and service available.
