Creating a World - Class Library System |
| |
| Can you imagine, the Sevierville library spend 28 years as a one-room library |
| inside the Masonic Temple! The present library was barely a dream-shared |
| mostly by Mrs. Gene G. Hickey, wife of former physician, John M. Hickey. |
| She believed Federal funds could be obtained and kept trying to obtain services |
| of a public relations firm to put the program together for public approval. S.H. |
| (Bo) Roberts, a newspaper man in Sevierville at the time, and an assistant to |
| |
Gov. Buford Ellington, succumbed to Mrs. Mize's plea and became executive |
| |
director of the original Sevier County Library Foundation. Once they had |
| |
established their foundation, citizens and businesses became involved in the |
| |
"dream". In November of 1968, because of the hard work and dreams of the |
| |
people of Sevierville, The Sevierville Public Library held its grand opening. |
| |
|
| |
This is your chance to continue that dream. |
