Margaret Dunbar, Librarian

Margaret Dunbar
WIU's 1st Librarian (1902-1912)

THE DUNBAR T — The Original

This first edition Dunbar T ("The Original") t-shirt commemorates the life and career of our dynamic WIU librarian forebear, Margaret Dunbar (1872-1957). A trailblazing leader and WIU's 1st Librarian (1902-1912), Dunbar held two academic degrees before women had yet won the right to vote!

We know – without question – that Margaret would strongly disapprove the very notion of eliminating ALL the librarians at Western Illinois University. Margaret would say, "NO! Do Not Fire The Librarians! Change Course; Do Better by Our Students!" Read More about Margaret's Amazing Story...!


Wear the Dunbar T: Do it for Margaret — do it for Western's students!
