Niebyl-Proctor Marxist Library
Library in Oakland, CA
Karl Niebyl was a professor of economics who escaped from Nazi Germany and taught for the rest of his life in various North American universities. His last post was at San Jose State. Professor Niebyl died on April fourth, 1985, leaving his library to be made available to the public. He wanted this library to be named after his wife, Elizabeth Hale Niebyl, who was a leading figure in public housing in the days of the New Deal. The Niebyl collection was stored for two years, until we found a home for it in Berkeley's historic Finnish Hall.
