Located in front of the Corvallis Benton County Public Library is a figurative sculpture of two children reading books, titled 'Storytime' and contains a plaque in front that reads:
In Memory of
JEANNE HELEN LARSON (1907-1991)
a passionate champion of libraries and
ROBERT KERMIT LARSON (1899-1991)
her most ardent supporter
form a family enriched by their presence.
In the hope this will help spread
the recognition of the importance
of libraries to the future of our children. |
