 James Naismith (portrayed by Bill Worley) visited the Ashland City Library on April 19.   Naismith, inventor of basketball and first coach of the famous KU Jayhawks, gave a short program, taking questions and discussing the origins of the game.  The library thanks Nathan Shupe for making a basketball and hoops available to enthusiasts.
