The library opened on Aug. 23, 1963. Today it occupies half of a complex that also houses city hall.
The birthday event was from 1 to 4 p.m.
Just like any birthday party, guests had birthday cake and refreshments. Library patrons brought in collections of 50 to tie into the anniversary.
Some brought 50 stamps and one guest brought 50 toy horses.
Special guest Cliff Sexton, cowboy poet and singer, entertained guests during the party. He sang songs about the cattle trails and recited poetry about wranglers and the Flint Hills.
Kathy Hale, Savonburg library director, said she was pleased with the celebration’s turnout.
