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."

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)
