First Library Board Chairman Resigned Over Housing Struggle
The narrator details years of attempt to secure a permanent library home in High Point, including leases of temporary quarters, proposed sites on South Main Street and Wrenn Street, legislative efforts for a self perpetuating board, and a 1941 resignation citing council inaction before the library finally found a permanent home years later.
