In 1906, Nettie Gray Dangerfield published a small book Our Mammy and Other Stories in which she recalled the humanity, devotion, and idiosyncrasies of servants. Though some aspects of the stories may be adaptive, the individuals sketched in this book are believed to be servants of the Gray/Daingerfield family and their friends. A photograph accompanied each story and identified the subject by first name only.

Digital Learning Day
February 6, 2013, is Digital Learning Day in the
Commonwealth of Virginia. “This event is part of a national campaign designed
to celebrate innovative teaching and highlight practices that make learning
more personalized and engaging for students; explore how digital learning can
provide all students with the opportunities they deserve; and build the skills
students need to succeed in college, career, and life.”[1]
Libraries promote each patron’s ability to participate in life-long learning. As
life-long learners we are all students who can benefit from digital learning
through digital literacy skills.
