The late Elvis Presley, who would have turned 80 Thursday, has been an integral part of Craig Florian’s life for as long as the 46-year-old Glenwood city councilman can remember.

Florian’s first exposure to the king of rock and roll came as a child in the 1970s  when he often listened to his mother’s Elvis Presley record albums. In high school, Florian had an Elvis-related role in “Bye, Bye Birdie.”

Glenwood Public Library Director Jenny Ellis said around 1,000 items have been “weeded” from the library shelves over the past two months, but she is uncertain how many of the books had been donated as memorials.
