Ann Lovell, Holman Library Technician, is founder and curator of an unusual local  museum devoted to the cultural influences and study of the popular and nutritious tropical fruit known as the Banana. Ann's ongoing project, the Washington Banana Museum in Auburn, has just been featured in a Seattle Magazine article, and is also highlighted in this new article from the online Seattle P-I.
