Jane Wood, founding editor of Shaker Magazine (now Shaker Life magazine), wrote to remind us of a story the magazine produced for the 25th anniversary of the Bertram Woods Branch. The story appeared in the July 1985 issue and was written by Eleanor McIlhenny, who noted that in 1984, Bertram Woods Branch circulated "over a quarter of a million books, making it the busiest Branch Library in the County."
The picture in the story, Alice in Wonderland by New York muralists Andrew Karoly and Louis Szanto, was a gift from Society National Bank (now Key Bank). When the branch was refurbished, the painting was moved to the Movies & Music area of Main Library where visitors continue to appreciate it.
