ca. 1930. A crowd of well-dressed youngsters were pictured in the McCormick (now Wheelock) Branch Library, 3722 North 26th, circa 1930. The north end library was dedicated on December 2, 1927. 200 children applied for library cards on the first day of business, December 5th. The English Tudor building was designed by local architect Silas E. Nelsen and named after Mrs. Anna E. McCormick, widow of Robert Laird McCormick.

Four young visitors on November 12, 1956 watch as the staff of the Anna E. McCormick branch library check out books to them using the new book charging machines recently installed at the Tacoma Public Library. The machine would stamp the due date on a loan slip instead of library staff stamping by hand. Observing the process is believed to be Tacoma Public Library director Howard M. Rowe and Mrs. Marian E. Kemp, wife of Dr. Charles Kemp. (Original print was torn in right corner)
