As part of World AIDS day Wednesday, a local library is hosting a section of a nationally acclaimed display.  Beloit Public Library is exhibiting sections of the AIDS memorial quilt.  The library worked with the national AIDS Memorial to get sections of the quilt.   Each panel of the quilt was made by the friends and family of a loved one who died from AIDS.  The quilt commemorates the more than 700-thousand American lives lost to AIDS over the last four-decades.  The display is intended to promote awareness and prevention of the disease.
