Crestwood Public Library
Crestwood Public Library is located in the village of Crestwood, Illinois, a south suburb of Chicago. The Crestwood Public Library was first located at the old Willow Creek School in District 129. The Willow Creek School was popular in the early 1900s, holding many elementary school graduations, but had become abandoned and neglected as the years passed. In 1969, the building was leased from School District 130, and renovated with the help of a number of volunteers and generous donations from the Village businessmen and organizations. The building was officially dedicated by Lt. Governor Paul Simon and operated by the Village residents. Known as "The Little School House", it served as the Village library until January 16, 1973, when 2/3 of the building and a total of 4,000 books were destroyed due to a suspected act of arson. The library reopened two more times following the fire: once in November 1973 in the Public Works Building, and a second time in April 1974 in the Council ...

Footnotes
A note is a string of text placed at the bottom of a page in a book or document or at the end of a chapter, volume, or the whole text. The note can provide an author's comments on the main text or citations of a reference work in support of the text. Footnotes are notes at the foot of the page while endnotes are collected under a separate heading at the end of a chapter, volume, or entire work. Unlike footnotes, endnotes have the advantage of not affecting the layout of the main text, but may cause inconvenience to readers who have to move back and forth between the main text and the endnotes. In some editions of the Bible, notes are placed in a narrow column in the middle of each page between two columns of biblical text. Numbering and symbols In English, a footnote or endnote is normally flagged by a superscripted number immediately following that portion of the text the note references, each such footnote being numbered sequentially. Occasionally, a number between brack ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
