Six women and one man, likely library employees, pose at the Buena Vista Branch Library’s July 1948 grand opening. Librarian Janice Shepherd is standing second from left, City Librarian Elizabeth Ripley is at center. Longtime library employee Peg Underwood is third from left. The Buena Vista library opened in July 1948 and served the community for over 50 years. A new Buena Vista library opened across the street at 300 N. Buena Vista St. in 2002.
