This month Library Friend Pat Coy talked about Easter bonnets, hat pins, spring flowers, and birds. The seniors enjoyed the walk down memory lane and all of us learned some things we did not know. For instance, hat pins allowed women to take the bonnet ties off of their hats and with this came very elaborate hat pins, some were over 12 " long. Cities even made laws (which some are still on the books) regulating the length of hat pins because they were very dangerous to eyes and faces.
The seniors enjoy these sessions as much as Pat and I.
