A Ride in the Library

My mother and father met while earning degrees in library science.

I don't know when or why it was first called a "science".

I'll grant that the academic discipline focusing on sorting documents into categories, and then making those documents accessible to folks wanting their information, overlaps the sciences; and that's another topic. Topics.

At any rate, my father got a job as head librarian at Moorhead State Teachers College around 1950. At that time the library was in the east end of MacLean Hall, more-or-less where the bookstore is now....

(Sharing one of my best memories: a time my father showed me the entertainment value of office furniture.)
