Duffy School visits Himmel Library
In the 1950s & early 1960s, when public elementary school libraries were not much more than several bookshelves in a storage room sized space, older grades took occasional "field trips" to the downtown library. After Himmel was built, my school (Duffy) switched destinations. I also remember Lawrence Clark Powell speaking a few words in the 1990s in front of the library. I think a new section was dedicated to him. Inspiring! (He was probably close to 90 years old.)
