The Inside Story of the Elizabeth Nesbitt Room
Student's Desk

10) This 19th-century student's desk was a gift from Miss Virginia Chase, who was head of the Boys and Girls Department at Carnegie Library when I worked there. She was a devoted friend of Elizabeth Nesbitt. The desk was an heirloom from her own family. She also gave us an extensive collection of signed first editions, all gleaned from her rich contacts with authors and artists.
