Patricia Shannon, an assistant in the reference division of the Tacoma Public Library, is looking for the answer to a question from someone who called the library's telephone reference service. This photograph appeared on October 31, 1952 in a special section in the News Tribune devoted to the "new" Main Branch Library which had its grand opening on November 2nd. Even in 1952, the library believed that "Your library is as near as your telephone." (TNT 10-31-1952, C-4)
