Buffalo Librarian honored with room in new library

Good News for Buffalo Librarian William A. Miles.

The Buffalo and Erie County Public Library will honor Miles by putting his name on the African-American Resource Room in the new Frank E. Merriweather Jr. Library at 1324 Jefferson Ave.

More than simply acknowledging his 43 years of service, the event will celebrate the collection he started a few years into his tenure.

It grew to include thousands of books, pictures, microfilm and other materials, housed in what has become Western New York’s largest repository of information on African-American history.
