History Os Syracuse Library (Second in a series) The first librarian for the Syracuse library was Mrs. Ida Knorr. In 1916 Mrs. Knorr decided to take a vacation for “indefinite time” and Wilma Kitson was appointed temporarily. Miss Kitson died suddenly and Mrs. Knorr served Miss Kitson’s term out. In 1919 Helen Bowld became librarian. She was followed by Ruth Lepper, Mrs. Snepp, Rebecca Fleming, Louise Maloy, and Alice Mann, who became Mrs. Hire while at the library. She remained for 15 years. Mrs. Hire resigned bn Oct. 1, 1945, and Miss Ethel Bowser, a former teacher, was appointed. Miss Bowser had an early connection with the library. As a child she had borrowed a- book the day the library opened in 1909. She has added much to the library and several important changes have taken place during her term. The children’s department grew until it became necessary to seperate it from the main library. In 1955 new equipment was purchased and another librarian was hired to take care of the children’s room. It was moved to the basement and Mrs. Bertha Meek was the first children’s librarian. Upon her death in an automobile accident Mrs. Oscar Bjella was appointed children’s librarian. Early Days In the. early days of the library the board set aside amounts of money for books. Donations of books were also received. In March 1921 Peter Krefting donated 350 books, mostly fiction. Other gifts of books on local Indians and Indiana history, belonging to A. S. Miller, were presented by Mrs. Miller in 1950. Pictures were gifts of Mr. Dolan and the Syracuse Arts and Craft club in 1946. The Sportsman Library was a gift of William H. Remy in 1950, and two pictures were received from Mrs. Gephart in 1953. The flag for the children’s room was a gift from the American Legion Auxiliary. Mr. Dolan also presented the library Indian relics, shells, fossils, and a mastadon tooth, all found in the area. The board purchased a case for the collection. , The library board soon realized the value of magazines. In 1917 the periodical list included Ladies’ Home Journal, Century, Popular Mechanics, World Outlook, Everyweek, Youth’s Companion, The Syracuse-Wawasee Journal and The American. In the years 1929 to 1959 the circulation of the library grew from 784 to 1,834. The original board members were Charles Bachman, Andrew Edmonds, Mrs. Ida Knorr, Miss Irene Sprague, | H. W. Buckholz, Joseph P. Dolan, I and Mrs. B. F. Hoy. Members since the original board are as follows: William M. Self, Mrs. Myrtle Rothenberger, Frank Bushong, Floyd Strieby, Mrs. Wilma Hire, Mrs. Stephen Freeman, Mrs. Lulu Seider, Mrs. Warren Colwell, Edna V.

Present board members are Mrs. George Bushong, Mrs. Ruth Rapp, Mrs. Ruth Meredith, Richard K. Miller, Rev. Carl Satre, and Jack Vanderford. In 1959 when the library was 50 .years old the librarian and the board, decided to hold open house. On Sunday, Feb. .8, this was done. Several hundred people attended, including newspapermen.
