Description
An account of the resource
The public library in Coralville, Iowa was established by the City Council on April 6, 1965 and first opened its doors to the public on September 12 of the same year. From that point on, the Coralville Public Library has been on a constant path of growth and change, much like the city of Coralville itself. <br /><br />The Coralville Public Library Photograph Collection includes images of the different buildings, programs, events, and types of resources the library has used to serve the local community over the years. The collection also shows the library staff members, board members, community supporters and volunteers who made these resources and services possible. <br /><br />Descriptions for each image were written by Rachel Black and Wendy Stevenson using information from the donors, past and current library staff members and volunteers, and the primary sources listed below. If users of this database have additional information about the images or notice discrepancies, they are encouraged to reach out to the Coralvillle Digital History Library. <br /><br />A special thank you to Allison Ames Galstad, Ellen Hampe Alexander, and all of our donors. <br /><br /><strong>Donations for this collection are on-going.</strong> If you have photographs and documents of the Coralville Public Library you would like included in this collection, please contact the Coralville Digital History Library.<br /><br />coralvilledigitalhistory@coralville.org<br /><br /><a href="https://coralvilledigitalhistory.omeka.net/Contribution" target="_blank" title="Contibutions" rel="noreferrer noopener">Donate here</a>

Two librarians, Linda Parker (left) and Chris Burnett, dressed up to ride in the Coralville Public Library float for the 1998 Fourth of July Parade. Coralville was celebrating their quasquicentennial in 1998, so the side of the truck read "Happy Birthday Coralville". The library also took the opportunity to advertise their summer reading program.

The collection also shows the library staff members, board members, community supporters and volunteers who made these resources and services possible. <br /><br />Descriptions for each image were written by Rachel Black and Wendy Stevenson using information from the donors, past and current library staff members and volunteers, and the primary sources listed below. If users of this database have additional information about the images or notice discrepancies, they are encouraged to reach out to the Coralvillle Digital History Library. <br /><br />A special thank you to Allison Ames Galstad, Ellen Hampe Alexander, and all of our donors. <br /><br /><strong>Donations for this collection are on-going.</strong> If you have photographs and documents of the Coralville Public Library you would like included in this collection, please contact the Coralville Digital History Library.<br /><br />coralvilledigitalhistory@coralville.org<br /><br /><a href="https://coralvilledigitalhistory.omeka.net/Contribution" target="_blank" title="Contibutions" rel="noreferrer noopener">Donate here</a>

An account of the resource
The back of Lois Wiederrecht-Finke as she studies at a desk in a Blue Top Motel cottage. A rotary phone sits on the desk to her left; a turned on lamp to the right.<br /><br />As a commuter student to the University of Iowa, she stayed at the Blue Top once a week. Upon learning the owners Larry and Judy (Howe) Smith planned to close down the business, she began a project of taking photographs to document and preserve the motel (Wiederrecht-Finke, p. xv-xvi). These photographs were later featured in a book titled <em>The Blue Top Motel</em>, published in 2003.

An account of the resource
Ethel (Douglass) and Gordon J. Dinsmore pose for a photograph with their arms around each other. Ethel wears a knee length dress with a belt, and Gordon has on his Navy white uniform.
Gordon and Ethel (Douglass) Dinsmore married in 1924 and moved to 107 Fifth Street in Coralville. In 1930, they bought the John Davis house and moved it to 105 5th Street, opening it as a restaurant called Dinty's Place. After eleven years, they sold the restaurant to George Richmond, and opened another restaurant with the same name at 608 Fifth Street while living at 604 Fifth Street. They later sold the second restaurant to Reggie Eckhoff.
The Dinsmores also opened and operated Iowa's first trailer park. Called "Dinty's Trailer Court", the park opened in 1937. In 1950, the Dinsmores sold the property to Louise Fairchild. The park was renamed as Coralville Trailer Park (Lovetinsky et al, p. 99).

Description
An account of the resource
Hazelle (Yenter) Parkers kneels on the front lawn next to a low cart, which her young neighbor Allen Beachler sits inside. He wears a hat and holds an item in his hands, which Hazelle appears to be looking at. Adam looks up at her, apparently speaking to her.
Around them is a typical suburban scene: grassy lawns, cars parked in driveways, houses, tree, and a neighborhood street. A woman can be seen in the background of the image; she strides away from the camera on a sidewalk.

An account of the resource
Second grade teacher Mary Dunn stands in front of the Coralville Elementary School Building. She is bundled up in a coat, gloves, winter boots, and head scarf as the wind blows snow around her. While the sidewalk leading to the brick building's front entrance is clear, the snow piled on either side of it comes up past Mary's waist.
Mary Dunn began her teaching career in Coralville at the Old School building in 1942 with veteran teacher Marie Leeney. The students and staff moved to the new building in 1949 (Lovetinsky et al., p. 32; Brandstatter).

Description
An account of the resource
Members of the American Legion Post #721 stand in a row with their arms around each other and smile for photographs. Two of the men hold shovels that were used during the ceremony.
The members of both the American Legion Walter Johnson Post #721 and the members of the American Legion Auxiliary worked hard in order to raise the money for a Legion home. The building cost $30,000, was built on Highway 6 West (now 2nd Street), and was open by the fall of 1963 (Lovetinsky et al., p. 72).
