We had just a titch of excitement today at the Webster County Genealogical Sociey (and of course, the Fort Dodge Public Library). Around 12:45, a library staffer stopped by our room and said we had to evacuate because they smelled smoke and had called the fire department. We waited about 40 minutes before we could come back inside. Luckily, although the day is chilly, it’s not that cold or very windy.

The firemen didn’t find anything. The smoky smell persists in the building, but we were allowed to go back inside.
