Description: "From its founding one hundred years ago by a group of dedicated women working to better life and opportunity in their fledgling metropolis, the Dallas Public Library has provided essential services to the people of Dallas. In The Dallas Public Library, Michael V. Hazel presents the centennial history of this landmark institution, from its genesis as a single library with a staff of five, to a central library and twenty-two branch libraries with a staff of more than five hundred." "Illustrated with two hundred black-and-white photographs and ten color plates, The Dallas Public Library will be of interest to urban historians, students of women's history, librarians, those who love good books and reading, and the citizens of Dallas who know and love the library."--Jacket.
