AskColorado Helps Teacher in Liechtenstein!

AskColorado Logo

A teacher from the European Principality of Liechtenstein visited Colorado and the Four Corners last summer, and wondered how Colorado became a nearly perfect rectangle, as well as how and when the borders of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah were decided creating the Four Corners.

The State Librarian, Gene Hainer passed the question onto Kris Johnson and our amazing AskColorado librarians. Several librarians jumped at the challenge and passed along information, websites, and citations to help unravel the mystery of Colorado’s borders and the formation of the Four Corners.

The patron was so thrilled with the information and bibliographic sources, that he wrote a letter of thanks to Gene Hainer, and extended an invitation if ever Gene is in Austria, Switzerland or Liechtenstein.

It just goes to show that you never know how your interactions with users can touch someone, even from halfway around the world!
