Historical Notes	Stella Conley (1888-1892) began her 50-year career at OPL at the South Omaha Library in 1907. She was the First Assistant in the Children's Department at Main Library from 1918 to 1920, and then head of Circulation until 1951. She was promoted to Librarian II in 1952 and remained in Circulation until her retirement in 1958. Blanche Hammond began work at the Library in 1894 after high-school graduation. She took library classes at the University of Wisconsin in summer school. She was head of Circulation, was an alternate in the Reference and Reading Rooms, and was in charge of the Children's Room for one year before becoming a cataloger in 1899 (all at Main Library). She retired in December, 1949. Stella Gibbs was born in 1884 in Iowa and married Clarence Silvernail in Council Bluffs in 1911. She apparently worked on projects and outreach for Omaha Public Library.
