Nancy Drew: Iowa's Heroine to the World
Nancy Drew: Iowa's Heroine to the World. Professor Barbara Lounsberry will present a program about Nancy Drew, the most popular female detective in fiction on Wednesday, April 30th at 6:30 p.m. Few know that Nancy is an Iowa heroine and that her creator was Mildred Augustine of Ladora. Nancy Drew and Mildred Augustine are extraordinary role models for Iowa girls and boys, women and men. An academic pioneer (the first woman to earn a master's degree from the University of Iowa's School of Journalism), Augustine earned 6 airplane pilots' licenses, including one for seaplaning; wrote 130 stories for young people; and continued her newspaper column "On the Go" through her 98th and last year of her life. The program will be held at the main branch on the second floor and Nancy Drew fans of all ages are welcome.
