Scope and content
The administrative offices of the Tacoma Public Library were located on the third floor of the newly built Main library at South 11th and Tacoma Avenue South. A photograph taken on January 16, 1953, shows the board room where the Board of Library Trustees met regularly. Writing materials were placed at each seat on the rectangular table. The chairs appear to have been made of leather. As in other sections of the library, air conditioning units and bright lighting were standard equipment. Thomas J. Porro was the president of the library board during this period, from 1945-1952. He was succeeded in 1953 by J.E. Burkey. Photograph ordered by General Electric.
