LOCKPORT PUBLIC LIBRARY

Miss Prudden retired as Librarian in 1945 and was succeeded by Miss Elizabeth Hesser who remained until 1949 when Miss Helen Ludlow took over the position. In her twenty years as Library Director Miss Ludlow worked to incorporate then-modern services, to adapt the existing space to hold more books and to upgrade the quality of the collection. During her tenure and with her support, the Nioga Library System was formed. Well-respected in statewide library circles, Miss Ludlow was responsible for the library's outstanding collection of art books and the establishment of a separate local history area.
