This week, a book that was checked out over 100 years ago was finally returned to the Saint Paul Public Library! This 1902 edition of “Famous Composers vol. 2” by Nathan Haskell Dole was found by a patron in Hennepin County while sorting through their mother’s belongings. Image John, the Web Librarian here at SPPL, examined the book—which bares the original Saint Paul Public Library stamp and back pocket card—and discovered several markings that may tell us more about this book’s journey.
