Helen Ganser

Helen Ganser

Helen A Ganser became the first librarian at Millersville State Normal School in Millersville, Pennsylvania (now Millersville University of Pennsylvania) in 1911. She was the institution's only professional librarian until 1921. She retired in 1952. In 1966, Millersville State College demolished the historic "Old Main" and replaced it with the then-modern 11-story Helen A Ganser Library, which was so named in recognition of her years of service.

It is rumored among Millersville students that Helen's ghost haunts the 4th Floor balcony of the library named in her honor.
