Library publication

The Library in brief

A 20-page portrait of America's School Trust Library: what the school-land promise is, where its records live, what the Library holds, the standard it keeps, and the people who sign for it. Published August 10, 2026. Working draft — like everything here, corrected in public when it is wrong.

Second edition, August 12, 2026. The first edition printed an empty frame where the secretary's portrait belonged, and said why. He has supplied the photograph, so Figure 14 is a portrait now and the caption records what happened. Figure 12 — the founder with the Library's founding treasurer — ran as a full-height plate and now runs at the contained size the booklet gives its other photographs. Both changes are in the corrections log.
