While many continue to celebrate Saint John's 225th anniversary, librarians have rediscovered an interesting part of their history.
Estelle Vaughan holds the record for length of service at 45 years, and is also the longest serving chief librarian with 33½ years of service in this position. She joined the library staff in 1903 and retired in 1948.
Members of her family and the public will have a chance to peek into hundred year old library scrapbooks to learn about Canada’s First Free Public Library through the work of Estelle Vaughan.
A plaque will be unveiled at the library to honour Estelle Vaughn in Market Square this morning at 11.
