The Pella Vertical Files by Various

With this review I want to draw attention to a little-known resource in the Pella Public Library.  The library’s vertical files are located between the genre fiction section and the aviary.  After many years, we are sorting through and cataloging the material that’s contained within these files.  The “Pella” drawer contains maps of Pella including an 1864 map, historical brochures from a variety of different clubs and organizations, and general information about the history of Pella.  There’s also a file on the Opera House, the Klokkenspel, and information on various Pella landmarks, such as the fountain in Central Park and the stone dogs on Main Street in front of old City Hall.  An incredible wealth of information is now available at your fingertips, and the best part is, the files are available to check out!  Please see library staff for more details on using this amazing resource!
