From June, 2007 to June, 2008, Dutchess Community College celebrated its 50th anniversary. As part of this landmark event, the Dutchess County Historical Society published a special issue of their yearbook that focused on the history of the college.
Last September I was asked by Dr. Andrew Rieser to write an essay that told the history of DCC's Ritz Library. It turned out to be a semester-long project that found me poring through news articles, library director's reports and photographs in search of info telling the story of how the library came to be an integral part of the campus.
It turned out to be more intriguing that I'd imagined.
The most interesting part of my research was interviewing several past staff members of the library's lengthy existence. They were all very helpful & had many fascinating details to share with me.
The essay has been uploaded to this blog. You can read it here.
