Voices of the Catalog is dedicated to the librarians—past, present, and future—whose commitment to librarianship has paved the way for more equitable access to knowledge and understanding. May their efforts continue to inspire and guide others in the pursuit of a more informed world.
We also wish to acknowledge the individuals who contributed to the Hennepin County Bulletin before we could record their stories. While they are no longer with us, their voices and work persist... Mary "Millie" Sommers, Carla Biermaier, Donaldlene "Donna" Meade, and others whose names remain unknown at this time.
This project was made possible with the support and guidance of the following individuals and organizations:
Professor David Lesniaski, St. Catherine University
Professor Anthony Molaro, St. Catherine University
Ted Hathaway, Manager Hennepin County Library Special Collections
Amy Shaw, St. Catherine University Archivist
