After completing her training as a librarian at the
Drexel Institute of Art, Science and Industry, Ganser devoted her entire career to Millersville State Teachers College library and to the cause of school librarianship. She is credited with starting the
library science program at Millersville in 1921. Ganser was a member of the
American Library Association. On November 27, 1933, Helen Ganser was nominated for membership in the joint committee of the American Library Association and the
American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education based on her "Experience giving courses for school and teacher-librarians." She retired in 1952. It is rumored that Ganser's ghost haunts the 4th floor balcony of the library named in her honor. In the summer of 2011, the Helen A. Ganser Library at Millersville University temporarily closed to undergo renovations. The library reopened in August 2013, after having a $25 million makeover. The library was renamed the Francine G. McNairy Library and Learning Forum at Ganser Hall. == References ==
