[Libs-Or] Women of Library History - Winifred Fleming Ticer

[Diedre Conkling]

The library came to life under Winifred’s reign. Winifred listened to the
needs of women and understood they wanted more in-depth reading and
activities from their library. Winifred introduced a broad range of
nonfiction books as well as fiction books for the adult woman. Reading
clubs for children were initiated, and reference and genealogical work
became important. The library was continuously changing and evolving as the
city went through its growing period. Winifred kept up with what was going
on around her and kept her library up to date and inspiring for the city of
Huntington. She even saw the need for growth and opened a branch library in
a small room located in the school.
