The Coffee Cup Bunch Friends of the Library welcomes Museum Director, Jennie Buchanan, at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, at the Altus Public Library, 421 N. Hudson. Jennie will review “The Story of Ferdinand” by Munro Leaf. Please join us as we take a look at the story behind the book that you most likely knew as a child. This was a children’s storybook that caused an international controversy AND outsold “Gone With the Wind!”
