Hazel presents the centennial history of this landmark institution, from its genesis as a single library with a staff of five, to a central library and twentytwo branch libraries with a staff of more than five hundred.This is the story of committed leaders like May Dickson Exall, who persuaded Andrew Carnegie to give $50,000 to build Dallass first free public library, and director Cleora Clanton, who stretched a shoestring budget to provide service to all citizens of Dallas at a time when minorities were often shunned and intellectual freedom challenged.
