Being a librarian was not only what Genevieve Price did for a living, but also what she lived for. Price began working with the Omaha Public Library systems in 1965 and retired in 1996, so to say her life was the library is fitting. Even as a little girl with vision challenges, Price was preoccupied with libraries and reading. As a librarian, Price realized her passion. From driving the Bookmobile around Omaha to providing books for underprivileged children, to serving as the assistant to the Registrar at UNO from 1945 to 1963, to working for the Omaha Public Library system, Price always knew that reading was the key to a fulfilling life. She established the Genevieve Price Historic Children’s Collection at the Omaha Public library, a collection of 7,000 children’s books, including some rare books, some signed by the authors, that can’t be found anywhere else in the country.
