February Booklunch hosting local historian

ABERDEEN – Evans Memorial Library will host Clay County writer Jack Elliot for its Booklunch Feb. 18 at noon. Lunch will be available at 11:30 a.m. 

Elliott has lived most of his life on the site of the extinct town of Palo Alto, which was founded by his family in 1846. The experience of history and place has given him a strong interest in the historical geography of his area and the personal connection to historical places.
