Rob: I went to the Carl Sandburg Library in Livonia, Michigan today. See: http://abesblogcabin.org/a-visit-to-the-...a-michigan
It is a small but very active library. The librarian showed me the letter Sandburg sent to them acknowledging the honor of having the place named for him but also giving regrets for not being able to attend the opening. It is signed by him. There is also a head sculpture of Sandburg there and a large portrait of him on the wall. I was having camera problems trying to photograph the picture but it is still passable. All in all, it was very enjoyable to see the honor given to him and the respect for his place in history.
