Postcard feature: Butterfly

Something happened to this butterfly that, to our knowledge, has never happened before to any of our postcards.

It moved from one library to another!

The library in which is was discovered is one we have not visited (though, looking at pictures online, I plan to when we are in Denver next!)  How it got from the main Denver branch to the Blair-Caldwell African-American Research Library is a mystery, but that's where it was found!




Complete with a nice long note.  



Hello!  This very cool postcard turned up in a young adult novel at the Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library.  We are a small branch of Denver Public Library, located in the historic Five Points neighborhood & founded by former Denver mayor Wellington Webb.  

It was found by Francis, a shelver, who Googled "Lost Postcards" & found your blog.  What a delightful idea!  Francis kept the card safe, broguht it home to write a note, and will mail it "home" tomorrow on his way to work.  Cheers from Denver!

Francis!  Thank you so much for returning our postcard--and for being interested enough to look us up!  I had fun reading about the Blair-Caldwell (and Wellington and Wilma Webb, whose names tickle me!)  I have one, possibly two upcoming trips to the Mile-High City, so I may have a chance to see your branch in person.
