2021 Summer Reading Notes:
  • There are smartphone/tablet apps available free from ReaderZone for Apple, Android, & Amazon devices. This is the easiest interface to use with timers to track reading time or manual minutes read entry options.

  • If you do not have a computer or internet access you may still participate!!! Simply call us and we'll register and update reading minutes for you.
  • Everyone who listens to a single story may count those minutes. (Example: If Mom reads to 3 children for 20 minutes they all can log those minutes. 
  • Books, eBooks, magazines, graphic novels, comic books, newspapers, audiobooks, study/research/homework materials ALL COUNT as reading minutes.
  • Special 5th-8th Grade note:
    • There is a suggested reading list of the 20 Rebecca Caudill Young Readers Award Nominees (RCYRBA) for 2022.

Princeville 50k in May

50k in May - WEB

Open to all ages and all activity levels - walk, run, bike, or workout. Join the Princeville 50k in May virtual challenge to stay fit and active!

Fitness classes may be postponed and gyms may be closed, but the sidewalks and the Rock Island Trail are open. There's no better way to social distance than going for a walk around the neighborhood, following along to a workout video, lifting weights, or biking the Trail. 

What is a Virtual Challenge?

A virtual challenge is a challenge that can be accomplished from any location and with any workout you choose. You can run, walk, jog, bike, follow a workout video, lift weights in your basement, etc. As long as you stay active, you'll defeat the challenge!

The rules are simple:

  • Run, walk, jog, bike or exercise on your own time at your own pace
  • Keep track of each kilometer/minute you are active. Download the log below or use an app to record each distance.
  • Stack up 50 kilometers (about 31 miles) by May 30.
  • Connect with us and other participants by tagging your photos #Princeville50k on social media

Mile Converter Info
Not a runner? That's OK! If you'd rather lift weights, go for a family walk, ride your bike, or follow a workout video online, you still count it toward your goal. Minutes go by 10 minute increments with each 10 min = 1 kilometer. The form has an easy calculation to convert minutes to kilometers if you choose to use minutes instead of kilometers.

50k=31 miles     1k=.62 mile

Kilometer/Minute converter for walking, biking, etc: 10 minutes = 1k

Calculation: X Min divided by 10 multiplied by 1 Kilometer = X Kilometers
Examples: 10 Min=1 Kilometer / 30 Min=3 Kilometers / 45 Min=4.5 Kilometers / 60 Min=6 Kilometers

This challenge is open to all ages and all activity levels.

Keep Track of your Kilometers

It’s easy to keep track of your Princeville 50k in May activities. You can

Princeville Peony Project

In 2020, the Lillie M. Evans Library District started the Princeville Peony Project or P3. We worked with the Princeville Heritage Museum and other community organizations to locate, photograph, and identify Auten peonies still growing in and around Princeville.This project will take several years to complete, but we have started to catalog some of the iconic images of Princeville—the Auten peonies.

Want to see some of the 122 specimens photographed in 2020. Click here! (This page is under construction so please be patient as we work through the images and identification)

Do you have an Auten peony? If you are certain you have an Auten variety, please fill out this form online or call the library sometime between May 18-June 18. Please contact us after your peonies have started blooming so that we can get photos for identification purposes. The library website is lmelibrary.org and our phone number is 385-4540. For 2020, we are focusing only on peonies that residents know for sure are Auten varieties. In subsequent years, we hope to open identification to possible Auten varieties but we want to focus on the known specimens first.

Thank you for helping us preserve our local history!

Peonies and Princeville

Princeville is known locally as the Peony Capital of the World due to Edward Auten, Jr. and his fields of peonies. Mr. Auten was a life-long Princeville resident who was educated at Harvard University. He graduated with a degree in economics and music and worked at his father’s bank, Auten & Auten. He had many interests and was an accomplished organist and composer.

Mr. Auten started growing peonies as a hobby. He turned to peonies after abandoning roses due to their thorns and difficulty overwintering. As his passion for peonies grew, it became a full-time business. From 1925 until he retired in 1963, Mr. Auten introduced almost 300 named varieties of peonies—many still popular today.

Auten peony fields drew visitors from across the state and around the country. Peonies would bloom in May and June along both sides of Route 91 on the north side of town and by the village of Monica, a few miles west of Princeville. Princeville’s first “Peony Day” was held on Sunday, June 6, 1937 and became an annual event. Crowds flocked to Princeville so they could view the fields and purchase varieties.

Edward Auten Jr. died on May 13, 1974 at the age of 92. By the time he retired at the age of 81, he had devoted more than 50 years to growing and hybridizing peonies. The fields are gone now, but Mr. Auten’s legacy and his impact on Princeville remains.
