Join us in kicking off Main Library’s 50th Anniversary celebration and Women’s History Month with Joe Sabatini – librarian, researcher, raconteur and local history enthusiast.  Joe shares the story of Stella Dixon, director of the Albuquerque Public Library from 1918 to 1935.  Coming from Texas with her family in 1910, Dixon presided during the 1918 flu pandemic, the construction of the Pueblo-Spanish Revival Main Library and the difficult days of the Depression. She is one of the founders of the New Mexico Library Association; the organizational meeting was held in her living room.  Joe’s research also follows her genealogy in order to present the full story of her career and what the library was like in the Twenties and Thirties.
