Reference query re: National Historic Sites or Parks and library history

  • 1.  Reference query re: National Historic Sites or Parks and library history

    Posted Jul 07, 2022 02:10 PM
    Hello, LHRTers, 
    During the month of July, the National Park Service seeks input on its Julius Rosenwald and Rosenwald Schools Special Resource Study regarding the creation of a National Historical Park related to American philanthropist and businessman Julius Rosenwald.

    ALA has endorsed this project, and Gavin Baker,     Deputy Director for ALA's Public Policy & Government Relations, is curious if any existing National Historic Sites or National Historical Parks are sites that formerly were used as a library or are associated with library history. If you know of any helpful information, you can contact Mr. Baker directly at gbaker@alawash.org.

    Thank you,
    Emily
