[LIB6644] - The Emily Dickinson Special Collection - Emily Dickinson, one of the world's foremost poets, was born on December 10, 1830, the daughter of Edward and Emily Norcross Dickinson of Amherst, Massachusetts. While much is made of Dickinson's reclusive nature, she did spend a year at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary, traveled to Washington, D.C., and stayed several months near Boston for health reasons. Though she wrote many letters, notes, and poems to her friends and neighbors, very few were published during her lifetime and all were published anonymously. It was only after her death on May 15, 1886 that Emily Dickinson became widely known as a poet. This collection is unique among other Dickinson collections because it places the poet within the context of her community in Amherst, Massachusetts during the mid-nineteenth century. The collection consists of approximately 7,000 items, including original manuscript poems and letters, Dickinson editions and translations, family correspondence, scholarly articles and books, newspaper clippings, theses, plays, photographs, and contemporary artwork and prints.

[LIB2586] - Several citizens, including C.R. Rice, raised funds and applied for a grant from Andrew Carnegie to build the sandstone building facing Park Avenue that still stands. Mr. Carnegie believed that people should improve themselves physically as well as intellectually, so this building had a gymnasium on the lower floor. The reading area was quite proper, as the times required, with separate rooms for 'ladies and gents'. Maude Neiding, perhaps the only librarian to have a park named in her honor, maintained order with a pointed finger and an assertive "shhhhhh." [More from the Website]
