Find out the truth about what happened to the Librarian who went up against a corrupt mayor in Long beach in 1914.

National Library Week (April 23 - 29, 2023) is a time to celebrate our nation's libraries, library workers' contributions and promote
library use and support.
The theme for National Library Week 2023 is "There's More to the Story," illustrating the fact that in addition to the books in library collections, available in a variety of formats, libraries offer so much more.
"The Case of the Missing Librarian" illustrates that there is truly "more to the story" as it reveals how a corrupt Long Beach Mayor and a powerful socialite drove the popular City Librarian out of town.
