Mary Reed is Not Unnoticed

The plate that honors the work of Mary Reed and her contribution to the Mary Reed library states:

“Mrs. Verner Z. Reed, humanist, philanthropist, whose benefactions have provided shelter and care for children, refuge for the homeless, facilities for the sick and for those who seek to relieve them through search for cure of disease, and help for countless persons in distress; whose love for music, art and learning has had both private and public demonstration, now adds to the already impressive buildings that serve and adorn this community, this crowning expression of her distinguished conception of fine and suitable architecture, a gift to the University of Denver, the Mary Reed Library”(Stearns).
