Remembering Bessie Parker

 

I found a lovely surprise on my desk this morning. Someone had donated this photo of a story time given by Bessie Parker, who worked at the Dover Public Library from 1900-1948. She is said to have worked here for 52 years so she may have started even earlier than 1900. I would love to hear from anyone who recognizes children in the photo, or even attended a story hour given by Bessie. Do you have a story time memory you would like to share?
