HURON — Whatever your image of libraries and the people who brought them to the wild west of the Dakotas, your bullseye may be off a bit!
The “book slingers” of the Black Hills impact far outlived one-shot loads from all those Deadwood six-guns.
Laura Hovey Neubert, a South Dakota Humanities touring scholar, will share tidbits of this history at the Huron Public Library at 6 p.m. Thursday, July 27, with davits of drama from those who fought for community through the establishment of West River libraries, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
