The First 50 Years of Librarians at the CPL

From the Cambridge Public Library Annual Report, 1908.

The photograph of Caroline Frances Orne, the CPL’s first librarian, is a real treasurer. It’s the only one we have! Click on the image to enlarge.

I recently stumbled on another photograph of Caroline Orne. It appeared in her Cambridge Chronicle obituary on 11 February 1905:http://cambridge.dlconsulting.com/cgi-bin/cambridge?a=d&d=Chronicle19050211-01.2.99&srpos=3&e=——-en-20–1–txt-txIN-caroline+orne—–

Thank you for that link! I love how the title of the obituary refers to Caroline Orne’s “noble ancestry.”
