How the Lincoln Public Schools Were Named
by Mike Callaghan and Kathi Friesen [R 371.61 Cal]

This fascinating little 28-page pamphlet is one of the rare jems in the Bennett Martin Public Library reference (non-circulating) collection. Published in 2000, this booklet, published by the Library Media Services department of the Lincoln Public Schools, compiles all the known history about the origin and naming of each Lincoln Public Schools facility (through 2000). Curious about where Lefler Middle School got its name? How about Cavett Elementary? When was there are College View Elementary? Or a Jackson High School? Filled with all sorts of fascinating trivia about Lincoln’s history, if you’re at all curious about how the many different LPS buildings got their names, I recommend stopping in at the downtown library and taking a look at this handy little guide!
