The Keynote Address at the 9/30 Northwoods Conference of Friends and Library Supporters was delivered by John DeBacher of the Department of Public Instruction. He spoke on the needs of the retiring Baby Boomer Generation and how this would affect libraries. Their passion for Life-Long Learning distinguishes this group of people.
