Morris County Library

Lynne Olver Built the Food Timeline. Now It Needs a New Owner. | Eater

"A mid‑size suburban reference library that served as the professional home for the site’s creator for more than two decades; it provided the institutional context and early projects (including a kids’ Thanksgiving history assignment and a print newsletter) that seeded the larger archival effort. The librarian who worked there rose through roles from reference clerk to director, balanced quotidian staff rituals (handing out candy bars, shoveling snow) with deep research work, and occasionally had to negotiate how much of her time the library’s publications consumed." - Dayna Evans
