The tenth library in the Central Arkansas Library System was dedicated in honor of Sue Cowan Williams, who represented African-American teachers in the Little Rock School District as the plaintiff in the 1942 case challenging the rate of salaries allotted to teachers in the district based solely on skin color. The library appropriately serves the community near the historic Dunbar High School building, where Williams taught.
