| On
the second floor of Eau Claire's historic Ager House
In June
2008, members of the Ager Association
completed work on the restoration of the upper floor of the
Ager House and opened the new library
of resources. The library is designed to bring together materials
otherwise difficult to find and/or not accessible in one place.
The information represents two major areas.

Valley, including song books, prayer books, recipe books,

Welcome
to the Resource Library!
The
Ager House Resource Library is located on the second floor.
In the small, comfortable, well-lighted rooms, there are places
to sit and read a first edition of an Ager Novel--perhaps in
Norwegian. A person can pull out a bound copy of Reform and
scan it for information about one's ancestors or use one of
the computers to go online for genealogical help. The stoybook
and age-appropriate materials will fascinate children. Visitors
planning a trip to Norway will find maps, travel guides and
other valuable resources on the "Norway Today" shelves.
Or, people might simply enjoy browsing the collection. Everyone
is welcome at the Ager House Resource Library!
