Did you know the Waukee Public Library was willed money by a former Waukee resident? Hiram Ori designated a gift for the library that could be more than $500,000 after fees. The money will be used to build a meeting room to be dedicated to Ori's parents, Ernest and Casimira Ori who lived and worked in the Shuler Mines.
