Okay, so say the library referendum passes and there will be a wonderful new 
facility.  I am going to start lobbying right now that it should be called 
the Gratia Countryman Library.  I don't know much about this woman who really 
was a driving force behind the Minneapolis Library, but from what I have 
heard, she was a person of humble beginnings, little formal education beyond 
high school and yet, really built the foundation upon which the present 
library system still operates.

Please, other list members, if you know more about this woman, share the 
information with the rest of us.
