The late Dale Faulkner, formerly of Tarkio, Missouri, was recently honored by the Atchison County Library. Mr. Faulkner was the Clerk of Atchison County from 1986 to 2002. The library purchased three titles about Mr. Faulkner’s favorite hobby, woodworking, to honor his memory. The books are now on display in Tarkio and Rock Port and ready to be used and enjoyed by everyone.

The library purchases books to honor the memory of trustees who have served the library and others who have served the community. Individuals can make a monetary donation to the library and request that a book be purchased to honor a living person or as a memorial.
