Edwardsville police chief finds new career path Keeven starts as Troy City Administrator July 1
Edwardsville Police Chief Jay Keeven will step down from his position on June 30 to become Troy’s city administrator on July 1. Keeven has served as police chief for nearly 8.5 years, joining the department in February 2013. Keeven spent his entire professional career, 36 years, in policing, starting when he was 20.
With much more than a tinge of bittersweetness, Edwardsville Police Chief Jay Keeven submitted his resignation letter to City Administrator Kevin Head Thursday. He steps down as police chief on June 30. He will start his new position with Troy on July 1, replacing Doug Partney, who had been city administrator since September 2019. “About three weeks ago, I got a call from the mayor of Troy, [David Nonn,] asking me to come serve as the city’s administrator,” Keeven said. Keeven has served as police chief for nearly 8.5 years, joining the department in February 2013. He’s the second Edwardsville safety chief to step down in the past 12 months; former Fire Chief Richard Welle retired last July. Keeven spent his entire professional career, 36 years, in policing, starting when he was 20; he was a dispatcher for Highland’s Police Department for nine months. Between Highland and Edwardsville, he spent 27 years working for the Illinois State Police. He and his wife will continue to reside in Edwardsville. “You hate to leave something you love and I love this city,” he said. “However, some years ago, I received my master’s degree in public administration and business administration from the University
a great demeanor, a tremendous amount of experience and a lot of patience. I wish him well and hope he keeps in touch.” Keeven said Maj. Michael Fillback will be the interim police chief starting next month. Keeven said whether that becomes permanent is up to Mayor Art Risavy. Risavy said via phone on Thursday that he prefers to conduct an internal search versus looking outside the department for Keeven’s successor. “I would like to thank Chief Keeven for his eight years of service to our community,” Risavy said Friday. “I will miss his leadership and dedication to keeping our city safe. He is a man of high character who has been a public servant for over 36 years. We are very fortunate to have a strong police department made up of dedicated men and women who are highly trained.” “I just wanted to say that Chief Keeven was a wonderful addition to the city,” said Alderwoman Janet Stack. “He was always professional but also has a warm and winning personality. He will be missed.” Alderman SJ Morrison agreed. “Chief Keeven is a consummate professional and has been a pleasure to work with,” he said. “He has a genuine love for community service and has served Edwardsville well. I wish him the best on his new career in Troy. They’re fortunate to have him.”
of Louisville. This new position is an opportunity to learn something new and different.” He praised Troy as a place of great economic development, saying its location “is 20 minutes from everywhere” and he said after meeting the mayor and city council members, he said it was obvious, like in Edwardsville, that they love their community and care about fostering responsible growth. “I have learned about what good government looks like; now, I will be able to put those lessons into practice,” he said. “I will be forever grateful to [former mayor] Gary Niebur for hiring me,” Keeven said. He said he worked with three city administrators, Ben Dickmann, who was also a former Edwardsville Police Chief, and whom Keeven considered a mentor; Tim Harr, whom Keeven considered a peer with a hands-off management style; and current City Administrator Kevin Head, whom Keeven said is a numbers guy, which means he is always searching for ways to save the city from unneeded expenses. “Jay Keeven is the consummate professional,” Harr said Thursday. “He leads by example and earned the respect of his city coworkers (other department heads) as well as the police officers under him. He has all of the right tools to be successful in his new role. He has the right professional education,
Keeven mentioned former Mayor Hal Patton as part of his gratitude. “I will be forever grateful to Hal for allowing quality developments into the city without making them hard to accomplish,” Keeven said. Keeven described the process involving each department head when a new planned unit development (PUD) surfaced and that became a training ground of sorts for him. “It gave me a front-row seat to things other than public safety,” he said. He said he got to watch how each piece – fire department, public works, finance, economic development, and administration handled PUDs. “I really got to learn city government.” “This department will not miss a beat,” Keeven said of his staff. “The men and women are so dedicated here.” He said it was not uncommon for residents to stop and regale him with anecdotes of how professional and polite his officers are at doing the most routine things. “I have really appreciated the opportunity to serve the residents of Edwardsville for these eight years,” Keeven said. “To serve a community that supports you as strongly as this one does, it’s truly humbling. It’s very hard to leave and I do so with a heavy heart.” Reach reporter Charles Bolinger at 618-659-5735

Glen Carbon mayor gazes back over years leading village as term ends By Charles Bolinger As with several other Madison County municipalities this past spring, Glen Carbon voted in a new mayor for the first time in many years. Robert Jackstadt, who has led the village since 2005, decided not to seek another term this year. His political career began in 1993, when he started on the village’s planning and zoning commission. He served as a commissioner there until 1995. He ran for village trustee during the 1995 election and won a seat on the board. He completed a single term, ending in 1999. He did a turn as a board member for District 7 between April 2000 and November 2001, followed by running for mayor four years later. Jackstadt said the three things he is most proud of during his tenure as mayor are – improving communication and transparency at village hall, modernizing village hall and operating it more like a business. When he’s not at village hall, Jackstadt is a partner in the Tueth, Keeney, Cooper, Mohan and Jackstadt Law Firm in Edwardsville. He practices commercial, construction and education law. Before he founded his current firm, he was a partner at Blackwell, Sanders, Peper and Martin, now known as Husch Blackwell. GLEN CARBON — As with several other Madison County municipalities this past spring, Glen Carbon voted in a new mayor for the first time in many years. Robert Jackstadt, who has led the village since 2005, decided not to seek another term this year. His political career began in 1993, when he started on the village’s planning and zoning commission. He served as a commissioner there until 1995. He ran for village trustee during the 1995 election and won a seat on the board. He completed a single term, ending in 1999. He did a turn as a board member for District 7 between April 2000 and November 2001, followed by running for mayor four years later.
Jackstadt steps down after 16 years at helm. Jackstadt said the three things he is most proud of during his tenure as mayor are – improving communication and transparency at village hall, modernizing village hall and operating it more like a business. When he’s not at village hall, Jackstadt is a partner in the Tueth, Keeney, Cooper, Mohan and Jackstadt Law Firm in Edwardsville. He practices commercial, construction and education law. Before he founded his current firm, he was a partner at Blackwell, Sanders, Peper and Martin, now known as Husch Blackwell. He cited two disparate projects as challenges during his tenure – funding the reconstruction of Old Troy Road and trying to get University Town Center passed. Jackstadt said the road had on a priority list since 2005. Reconstruction of the popular two-lane road did not begin until the summer of 2018 and was completed two years later, well
more than a decade behind schedule. It was completely rebuilt from where it meets Cottonwood Drive all the way to about 250 feet shy of Route 162. “Hindsight is 20/20,” he said, equating it to each time the village blinked, two years passed; it blinked again and two more years had gone by; a third blink was four more years gone; and the fourth and final blink equated to eight years lost. He said he met with the state representative and senator at the time to find ways to get Illinois and Madison County funding for the project, which he categorized as a sub-regional arterial road. The hurdle was that Springfield could not get a capital bill passed then, he said. “’If it passed, your project would be on the list,’” Jackstadt said someone in the Capitol told him at that time. University Town Center (UTC) was slated to be located in Glen Carbon on approximately 900 acres of bottomland bordering Routes 157
and 162 and Interstates 270 and 255 in 2009. UTC was modeled after Village West in Kansas City and was pitched as a “destination” place to shop with unique retailers, such as LEGOLAND®, Nebraska Furniture Mart and more but Jackstadt said it was defeated by most of the surrounding mayors at the time, and the developer, Bruce Holland, pulled the plug after not getting enough support to use Sales Tax and Revenue (STAR) bonds to finance the project. “Illinois would forego its five percent sales tax for a certain amount of time,” Jackstadt recalled and the project would have benefitted more stakeholders than the village, District 7 would have been one of them. Jackstadt said he advocated for inter-governmental cooperation and he felt that he and Hal Patton improved the village-city relationship during their overlapping terms in office and that the relationship was not as adversarial as it once was. He said he has no plans to step away from being a lawyer as some might assume. “I love a challenge and the legal profession certainly provides challenges,” he said. He and his wife, Kathi, have three adult children — two live in Glen Carbon while the third resides in Kirkwood, Missouri, in St. Louis County. He has six grandchildren and is expecting the arrival of the seventh in September. When he’s not working, Jackstadt said he loves watching almost any sports competition – St. Louis Cardinals, the St. Louis Blues, various NFL teams; snow skiing, traveling, spending time with family and more. “I really enjoyed my time as a public servant,” he said. “I can’t think my supporters enough.” He said he met more people in the past almost-30 years that he otherwise would not have encountered. His final day in office is April 30.
Stoutenborough joins Madison County Board By Scott Cousins Stoutenborough was unanimously approved. Dodd, 77, died March 10. He had been in poor health for several years, and had not attended any County Board meetings since spring 2017. Dodd was first elected to the County Board in 2012. Prior to that he had served as an Alton alderman for the 6th Ward from April 1981 to March 1997. He was
also the owner and operator of Jim’s Mobil. Madison County Board Chairman Kurt Prenzler had 60 days to appoint a new board member. The new appointment was required to be a Democrat. Prenzler said Stoutenborough was a good choice for the board. “He is very intelligent man, who was an accountant with Mallinckrodt, and later was involved in energysaving companies,” Prenzler said prior to the meeting. “He is of the other party, so he doesn’t agree
with me on everything. But we had a good conversation. “I think he’s a very respectable and very intelligent, fair-minded and thinks for himself,” Prenzler added. According to information supplied by the county, Stoutenborough has a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Millikin University, and worked at Price Waterhouse and Co. and Mallinckrodt Inc. He is currently with Energy Solutions Inc. He was a member of the Alton City Planning Commission for

Dieterich Bank branch opens in Edwardsville Dieterich Bank of Effingham held a ribbon cutting ceremony July 12th for its new bank location on South Route 157 in Edwardsville. Dieterich Bank has been operating out of a temporary facility in Edwardsville since the spring of 2020. Now, the bank is offering its customers full-service banking in a
new 4,200-square-foot facility that includes drive-up lanes. “The Edwardsville team is honored and excited to be a part of the Edwardsville community and to provide quality banking services to this area,” said Andy Hess, senior lender and senior vice president. Hess is a native of Teutopolis, Illinois

increased consumer and residential lending opportunities,” said Chuck Deters, CEO of Dieterich Bank. “Entering this market with a physical location allows for expanded geography, appeal to different customer segments and execution of the bank’s long-term strategy of increasing size and reach.”
Covered Bridge Bike Rental comes to village By Kristina Johnson The village’s newest business is one that was missing — a bicycle rental. With the Metro East’s abundance of bike trails, owners Teri and Chris Moore opened Covered Bridge Bike Rental, 195 S. Main St., as a way for village visitors to enjoy them too. The Moores have lived in the Glen Carbon area for many years and shared the community’s love for the trails, so when the tenants of their rental home left, it was their opportunity to start planning. “I had a lot of people from out of town who would say, ‘I love your trails and I’d like to bring my wife, but I only brought my bike down.’ The idea of a bike rental business has been on our mind for years now,” Chris Moore said. All of their bikes were purchased new at the Cyclery and Fitness Center in Edwardsville and a majority of them are hybrid bikes or are for the purpose of riding on paved trails. Their selection includes bikes of all sizes for children and adults. Their addition of tricycles can be used for those who may have trouble with balancing on a regular two-wheeled bike. “(The tricycle) is good for older people or for people who would like to bring their dog,” Teri Moore said. *”This lady rented one and had her little chihuahua in a cage in the back basket.” In their free time, the couple also like to ride the bikes they rent. They will either bike on Glen Carbon’s trails or travel to the Katy Trail State Park in Missouri. “I ride some, but not as much as Chris,” Moore said. “Usually when we close the place, we want to ride them ourselves. All these people have fun and say, ‘Oh we had a great time.’ Well, let’s go riding too.” The Moores also have full-time jobs outside of their bike rental business — Teri is the owner of Sailor Insurance Agency and Chris is a brick layer. “We’ve always been busy with Chris and I working two full-time jobs and now with this business,” Teri Moore said. “It’s a seven-days-a-week work week.” With the two working outside of the bike rental

Covered Bridge Bike Rental is located in downtown Glen Carbon across the street from the library. business five days a week, their busy days are mainly Saturdays and Sundays. But they do take appointments via telephone from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. “With us working other jobs during the week, we are only able to be here all day on the weekends,” Moore said. “But with us doing the appointments during the week, it gives us enough time for one of us to come down to the shop to be able to assist those wanting a bike.” As the business grows, the Moores have dreams of one day opening a coffee spot inside their building. With the extra rooms inside and space outside under their carport, Chris said it would be something to look forward to if the business grows.

What to know about Glen Carbon's Orchard Town Center project so far Village sets public hearing on June 8 for Menards, development By Charles Bolinger The next steps for Glen Carbon’s Orchard Town Center project are a public hearing followed by a vote of the full trustee board. This comes after a special village board of trustee meeting on May 26 with several discussion-only items. Orchard Town Center is a proposed retail hub on 52 acres of ground that was the Foucek Property, one of the few remaining undeveloped parcels within the village. The Staenberg Group and Menards, Inc. on behalf of Sunnyside Partnership, LP, are the developers. Tim Lowe, a vice president of development and leasing for Staenberg, told the mayor and trustees in April that they have until this month to complete their due diligence. Lowe added that they hoped to close on the property this summer and open the first phase next year, with the second and final phase to open in 2023. If the trustees approve, the main anchor tenant, as is widely known, would be Menards, with a 209,000-square-foot store. This would be the company’s second Metro East site after one in O’Fallon. After that, there would be four junior anchor tenants comprising a total of 50,000-square-feet and 12 outlots, six along the west side of Troy Road and six more along the south side of Governors’ Parkway. Lowe said the outlots could become a variety of things – fast food, quick serve, sit-down restaurants, service businesses, urgent cares, a little office building or a multi-tenant building. The development is bordered by Governors’ Parkway on the north, Troy Road on the east, Center Grove Road on the south and a Madison County Transit (MCT) trail on the west. Site amenities include a small park next to the bike path and a direct link to the trail from the development. Lowe predicts that the site will draw businesses that are new to the village
and/or area. The village, working with the Staenberg and Moran Economic Investments, devised a business district for part of the site and a taxincrement financing zone for another part of the site. The developer is asking for $7 million in assistance with traffic, drainage and mine subsidence issues at the site. There will be a public hearing on this topic June 8 at 6 p.m. at village hall, ahead of the trustee board meeting. Two weeks later, on June 22, the trustees will vote on the project. According to a May 26 memo, Village Administrator Jamie Bowden told Mayor Bob Marcus and trustees that the developer is subdividing the plot into two parcels, one of which, 18.6 acres, will be sold to Menards. Bowden said Wednesday by phone that Marcus wanted to make sure everyone was aware of and comfortable with the issues at the site, which include drainage, traffic and variances. Menards will have its own detention area for storm water runoff and
between the outlots and Troy Road will be three stormwater detention areas, with two additional detention ponds flanking the Plum Street entrance and another just outside of the Menard footprint, next to the Goshen Trail. Bowden said the developer will need to do a lot of traffic improvements after a recent review from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). He mentioned potential impacts to Troy Road, including at the northeast corner of Troy and Center Grove where the QT gas station and convenience store is located. A new traffic study is also part of the plan. When it came to the two variances requested, one for fewer parking slots than the village requires (425 vs. 606), that was not an issue. Menards officials have said despite the overall building footprint, their stores have fewer walkable square-feet, which translates to fewer parking spaces. However, the sign variances requested had been issues. Previously, the height of the Menards sign was a sticking point because Menards sought the same height as Schnucks across Troy
Road and other, nearby developments from a competitive perspective. Bowden said monument signs are now the focus and the trustees wanted to see how well similar brick and/or stone construction look in other communities before approving it for Glen Carbon. Finally, Bowden said there are a certain list of covenants, or restrictions the village officials may want to put in place to maintain a quality development. Examples he gave Wednesday include no refineries allowed in the development and no payday loan shops. The trustees may also want to limit the number of outlots permitted to have drive-throughs. The village can restrict use through its planned development procedure (PDP) process. The next Glen Carbon Trustee Board meeting is June 8, with a public hearing at 6 p.m. then the regular board meeting at 7 p.m. Bowden said the village plans to continue streaming its board meetings through at least July 1.

Edwardsville Established in 1972 by Wilbur and Larry Suhre, Oak Brook has a long history of providing golfing
enjoyment in the St. Louis area. Wilbur Suhre, a life long entrepreneur, spent his entire professional life creating businesses. From a grocery store, to propane, to banking, to countless other ventures, Wilbur Suhre lived the American dream. His first love in sports was baseball. As he got older, he fell in love with golf. Larry, his youngest son, started playing the game in high school. He played on the very first Edwardsville High School golf team. He turned professional and played full time professionally in the 60’s. Larry’s playing ability fed Wilbur’s desire to play and build a course where his son could hone his skills. Larry became frustrated with the “mini-tour” life and wanted an outlet. Wilbur found some land that no one else wanted on the outskirts of Edwardsville. With the last dime they had in the bank, Wilbur and his wife Ida, and Larry and his wife Nancy, put their heart and soul into building the first nine holes. Even though many thought it was a bad idea, they forged ahead with a bulldozer, dynamite, and blood, sweat and tears. The family worked countless hours moving dirt, cutting down trees, and doing everything they knew how to make the unwanted bottom ground into a player friendly golf course. Along the way, Edwardsville native and family friend, Harold Patton came up with the name Oak Brook and the rest is history. Many of the people who helped the Suhres along the way still play at Oak Brook. This is a testament to Wilbur and Larry’s vision and perseverance to finish the job.

Edwardsville’s Historic Leclaire Neighborhood By Cindy Reinhardt Edwardsville’s Leclaire neighborhood is a National Historic District that includes over 400 historic homes, a Victorian-era park, Leclaire Baseball Field, the Edwardsville Children’s Museum and the Historic N. O. Nelson Campus of Lewis and Clark Community College. Founded in 1890 as a cooperative village by St. Louis industrialist N. O. Nelson, Leclaire remained a separate village until annexed to Edwardsville in 1934. Today, the former factory buildings of the N. O. Nelson Manufacturing company, provide classrooms for LCCC and Edwardsville High School students. The newly restored Nickel Plate Depot provides an expanded educational space for the Children’s Museum located in the former Leclaire School House (1895) and children still play baseball at Leclaire Field where games began in 1890. The modest homes built for Nelson
employees include Victorian cottages and bungalows, as well as other architectural styles, including a number of kit homes. The heart of the neighborhood is Leclaire Park, a serene spot in today’s hectic world that is popular for its picnic facilities, children’s playgrounds and fishing in Leclaire Lake. In addition to the park and baseball diamond, Leclaire residents have other exercise opportunities close at hand since there is an intersection of Madison County Transit System bicycle trails on the western edge of Leclaire. Each fall, Leclaire residents invite the community to join them at Leclaire Park on the third Sunday in October for Leclaire Parkfest, a celebration of the Leclaire National Historic District featuring live music, festival food, crafters, and historic displays on the neighborhood’s unique history. To learn more about the history of the Leclaire neighborhood, go to www. historic-leclaire.org.
History of the Edwardsville Public Library History Compiled by Amy Anson, Kevin Becker and Amanda Endicott In 1819, Edwardsville was on the western frontier of the United States. Less than a year after Illinois became a state, the progressive frontier town was already home to a free public library. This first library,
which preceded our current Carnegie library building by almost 100 years, was chartered in 1823. It consisted of 121 items and a single librarian, Mr. John H. Randle. The original book catalog of this library has been
preserved, and is still viewable today. Although this first library endured only a short time, it remains one of the oldest libraries in Illinois and the foundation upon which our current library rests. In the absence of a
formal library, the essence of the library was preserved by a group of dedicated women, who tended the collection as it moved to various locations around Edwardsville. In 1879, the library was permanently
rechartered. One of the most influential librarians to cultivate this new library was Sarah Coventry, whose years as head librarian from 1891 to 1937 make her the most enduring librarian ever to walk the stacks. With the support of the community, Miss Sarah’s library continued to grow. At the dawn of the 20th century, a collision of fate, community, and a Scottish steel magnate named Andrew Carnegie would radically change the library’s history. Carnegie, in an attempt to disperse his considerable wealth, began to donate money to towns both small and large for the establishment of public libraries. In Carnegie’s own words, “There is not such a cradle of democracy upon the earth as the Free Public Library, this republic of letters, where neither rank, office, nor wealth receives the slightest consideration”. Carnegie’s philanthropy built more than 2,800 libraries across the United States. In 1903 Edwardsville resident Charles Boeschenstein, the publisher of the Intelligencer and a former mayor, wrote Andrew Carnegie to request funds to erect a library building. Through Boeschenstein’s efforts, Edwardsville received $12,500 for the construction of a permanent home for the public library. The city of Edwardsville complemented Carnegie’s offer by donating a parcel of land in the city park for the library to occupy. Work began in 1904, and the building was dedicated on June 28, 1906. At that time a library membership cost 10 cents per month, which allowed access to a collection of roughly 500 books. To support the continued operation of the library, patrons hosted several community events and fund-raisers, such as concerts and card games. In 1926, a section of the basement was transformed into the children’s room, a place that continues to inspire and delight to this day. As the library and the community changed, the need for renovation of the Carnegie building became evident. In 1953, the heirs of Charles Boeschenstein came to the library’s aid. Through their largess, a renovation of the library was undertaken with the hope of modernizing and improving the aging Carnegie Building. In March 1956, as the renovation was drawing to a close,
Edwardsville’s residents were in Champaign supporting the boy’s basketball team. On that fateful night the history of the Edwardsville Library changed drastically. An overheated stone hearth in the childrens’ reading room (now Carnegie’s Cafe) is believed to have started a fire, which quickly consumed the contents of the library. No one was hurt, but most of the collection was destroyed by fire, smoke, or water. The stone walls survived the fire, and with the support of the community, the rebuilding of the Carnegie library began immediately. The library reopened its doors in 1957. A year later, Edwardsville artist Miriam Mckinnie brightened the walls of the children’s room with whimsical scenes from children’s tales. These scenes include “the pied piper of Hamelin”, “hey diddle diddle”, “sing a song of sixpence”, and “mother goose”. Not long after the reconstruction, it became apparent that the library needed to expand. In 1964, construction began on the north wing of the building, which opened in 1965. The wing added 2250 sq. feet to the library, which provided space for 15,000 books, and doubled the area of the reference room. Today, it houses the Gates Lab and the collection of the Madison County Genealogical Society.
In 1978 a dedicated group of volunteers decided to form a new organization to cement their commitment to the library. The Edwardsville Library Friends, or ELFs, aid in developing public understanding of the library and in making its resources better known to the community. The ELFs planned events to help support the library, such as “snacks in the stacks”, herb and book sales, and Family Film Favorites. The ELFs would also play a key role in the future expansion of the library building. In the early 1980’s, the library took a technological leap with its first computer, the Apple II-E. Obtained through a $3,000 federal grant, it allowed many citizens of Edwardsville to have their first interaction with a computer. Technology began to play a more important role in the library when the catalog became automated in 1986. In 1988, library director Susan Lucco, with the help of the ELFs, put forth a tax referendum to update and expand the Carnegie Library to match the needs of the growing community. The 2.4 million dollar referendum would expand the library from 8,000 to 20,000 square feet, while maintaining the Carnegie building style. The ELFs led the campaign for the referendum by telephoning more than 1,200 library patrons. After much hard work and
determination, the referendum passed, allowing the library to take its current shape. In 1989 ground was broken for the addition, and in the following two years of construction, noise, and sweltering summer heat the library remained open. The stone quarry that was used to build the original Carnegie library was located and used for the addition, seamlessly fusing the old library with the new. Once the addition was completed, the entire collection and staff moved from the existing building to the addition to allow a complete renovation of the original library. In 1991 the addition and remodeled building were ready to serve the public. Shortly before the dedication ceremony, the ELFs came to the rescue once again. After heavy rains, the new children’s room flooded, and the ELFs mobilized an army of men, women, and shopvacs, ultimately losing only one book. With the new addition, the library had more than doubled in size, added conference and meeting rooms, and became handicap-accessible. Equipped with new facilities, the library was ready to grow and thrive with Edwardsville. The 1990’s brought about a myriad of technological innovations; the library embraced new services as quickly as they became available, most notably the Internet and public access computers. The library took a delicious step forward with the addition of Carnegie’s Cafe and Books in 1999. Carnegie’s provides library patrons with refreshment and relaxation. In 2002, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation donated computers and financial support as part of a program to bring computers to public libraries. Edwardsville received two computer labs, which launched the library into a new realm of public service, capable of giving thousands of people access to the Internet each year. A few years later, the library began to provide wireless Internet access to patrons, creating a comfortable atmosphere for people to browse the Internet and the stacks. 100 years in this Carnegie library would not have been possible without a strong symbiosis between library staff and the community. The library maintains a tradition of change, adapting to the needs of Edwardsville’s residents who gladly continue to patronize and support the library.
