About Charlotte Thompson

Miss Charlotte Thompson served as the librarian for the Durham Library Association before it was combined with the New Hampshire College Library in 1907. She was appointed assistant college librarian and in this position, she won the regard and affection of students (to whom she was known as "Aunt Lottie") for more than two decades. During World War I, many of the students who served overseas sent letters and photos to Aunt Lottie describing their experiences. A box of these letters was housed in the library for many years after her death in 1939 until a previously unnoticed note in Miss Thompson's handwriting was discovered amongst the letters. The note requested that the letters all be burned at her death. Regretfully, the librarian felt she had no choice but to obey, but since the note made no mention of the photographs, they were spared.
