Across the Years at The Wisconsin Public Library
Medora Clark reflects on library life in The Wisconsin Public Library Episodes. A brisk slice of reader life shows Beatrice, Prudy, and the crowd at a city library, cataloging books, chasing elusive subjects, and debating Napoleonic history to Nihilism. A busy Saturday scene blends humor, curiosity, and portraits of readers from students to a chiropodist, with Beatrice noting the desire for ordinary evenings and private theatricals.
