THE OPEN LEDGER · EACH GAP WITH ITS SETTLER
GAP-NC-LIB-1 — the founding instrument. The petition, election, or resolution that organized the library and levied its first tax (1916–1917, behind the Carnegie grant) is in no source read; the library's own founding date (1921) postdates the grant by four years. Settlers: the Indiana State Library's Public Library Correspondence Files; the board's earliest minutes; town and township levy records. GAP-NC-LIB-2 — the founding-era directors, 1921–2004. No librarian of the Carnegie building's first eighty years is named in any record reached. Settlers: the Indiana State Library's annual directories and statistics series, which name each library's librarian year by year; the board's minutes; the State Board of Accounts' examination series read as a chain. GAP-NC-LIB-3 — the directorship, 2008–2014. Between Boggs's scheduled term end (December 31, 2007) and Baiz's first appearance in the reached minutes (January 2015), the seat's holder or holders are unnamed. Settlers: the biennial examination reports for 2007–2014; the board's minutes archive from its 2010–2011 folder forward. GAP-NC-LIB-4 — the board's present roll. The member-level roll is carried whole to October 17, 2023; the roll as it stands in November 2026 (officers elected at the December annual meetings of 2024 and 2025; any appointment changes) is not in a record read. Settlers: the board's minutes archive, 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 folders, including the December annual-meeting minutes. GAP-NC-LIB-5 — the current statistics row. Collection counts, circulation, and service population at the state series' line strength were not extracted. Settler: the Indiana Public Library Statistics series, the library's own row, most recent year. GAP-NC-LIB-6 — the 2002 building's full account. Architect, total cost, bond issue date, and opening day unrecorded in the record reached; the conveyance of the Carnegie building to the town likewise. Settlers: the leasing corporation's filings; the examinations for 2001–2003; the town paper's 2002 run; the board's and town's minutes. GAP-NC-LIB-7 — the 1852 township library in Olive Township. Whether the state township-library system of the 1850s ever operated here is unsettled. Settlers: the Olive Township trustee's records; the county histories' Olive Township chapters, read whole by this build's sources pass.
The gaps stand as this section's closing account, printed so the record shows its own edges. Each settler named is a record known to exist; none of the seven was closed by inference, and none is carried anywhere in this section as settled.
