A museum in Washington D.C. initiated a greater recognition to how women have contributed to the United States’ development. From it, local women from all walks of life are increasing their influence. Building on the work by organizations like the Charlotte Women’s Club, women such as Mildred Baxter Davis are also making national history more inclusive.

Abstract:
A follow up to his article, “All that Remains,” Garfield revisits the stories of nine holocaust survivors, three of whom had died since his first article was published in 2009. Data about the expected decline of Holocaust survivors by 2030 underscore the need to record the stories of other survivors. Data about the number of hate crimes targeting Jews underscore the reality that anti-Semitism exists just as well in the United States, offering another motive for making Holocaust survivors’ stories known.

Abstract:
When technology-based research tools began gaining a foothold in American society, experts in fields outside of librarianship started arguing librarians were no longer needed and closing libraries would be economically beneficial. However, with the needs that libraries, particularly public, meet, they are still highly valued community centers for patrons representing the socioeconomic spectrum. This helps justify grand-scale renovations of public libraries such as Charlotte’s main branch.
