With Farr Regional Library’s 20th Anniversary coming up, we’ve been looking through old files, documents, and photos, including entries into a “Name the Library” contest, which tell the story of how Farr Regional Library got its name.
Today we’re highlighting an entry by Ambray, who was in 4th grade when she wrote the following:
Pheasant Run Library
First, it is going to be built near Pheasant Run Park.
Second, I chose this name because other libraries have been named after parks.
Third, also it would be a good name because during fall season you see pheasants in that area.
Fourth, Pheasant Run is a pretty name for a library.
Fifth, I think the people can remember Pheasant Run easier.
Sixth, Pheasants are very quiet and libraries are quiet too.
Seventh, Pheasants are very resourceful, like libraries are.
Eighth, pheasants have long pretty tails like libraries are big too.
Ninth, pheasants migrate from one place to another like the library is moving from downtown to out west.

Wow! Thorough! And as far as compliments, resourceful is one we’re happy to take 😉
