Waco Libraries and librarians

I love libraries. They’re the “People’s University.” In colleges and universities they’re the only division that everybody trusts — they’re like Switzerland in the United Nations. Waco is blessed with a host of wonderful, helpful, resourceful librarians, and there is no way to name/list them all. But just as representative examples of the whole, let me give shout-outs to research librarians Sean Sutcliffe at Waco-McLennan County Library’s downtown location and Ethel Walton at Baylor’s Moody Memorial Library. — Bob Darden
