Sandy

The Sandy Museum is seeking the community's help in finding photographs of three former mayors.

The museum has pictures of each of the city's mayors since 1893 when Sandy was incorporated — except for mayors H.P. Johnson (1896-97), Wells Clark (1898-99) and Alex G. Robertson (1900-01).

The museum is asking residents to search their scrapbooks, attic boxes, basement storage containers and any other place where such photos might exist and bring the pictures to the museum, 8744 S. 150 East.

A free T-shirt will be given for each verified photo received.

For more information, call 255-3348 or 572-3492.

Salt Lake City

To help celebrate its new library building, the Salt Lake City Library will sponsor its first annual Dewey Lecture Series, featuring monthly programs with noted experts from around the world.

The series is named after John Dewey, who invented a classification system that established categories and hierarchies of information.

The series will kick off on Saturday, March 1, 7:30 p.m. with James Burke, a science historian, author, TV host and producer, talking about "The Knowledge Web."

Free tickets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis two weeks prior to each event from the information desk at the main library, 210 E. 400 South.

Future segments in the series will include Kay Redfield Jamison, international researcher, on April 5 and Terry Waite, humanitarian and former hostage in Iran, on May 3.

For more information on the series, call 524-8200.
