Portrait of Hutchins

... that Frank Avery Hutchins (pictured) has been called the father of Wisconsin public libraries? Source: Quote: It was during his official connection with the commission that Mr. Hutchins suggested the desirability of the legislative reference department and made carefully considered plans for its organization. The development of this idea later became the life work of Dr. Charles McCarthy who always generously admitted his obligation to Mr. Hutchins as the originator. The latter has been called "the father of Wisconsin public libraries."
- Comment: Created in my sandbox on 24 Jan 2022 and moved to mainspace on 26 Jan 2022. This is my 5th DYK nomination. I'll see if I can add alternate hooks.

New, long enough, and well written. Earwig shows 18% similarity, but that's all organizational names - the overall article is clearly not a copyvio. Hook is short and interesting; it's cited to a paywalled source but the quote supports it. The image is good quality at this size and appropriately licensed. Good to go, and I do love a good librarian. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 02:18, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Pi.1415926535: Thanks for the review! Regarding the paywalled source, you might be able to access it using the Wikipedia Library Bundle. Ciridae (talk) 11:49, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
