This site is a presentation of information and material that relates to the life and contributions of Dr. Leslie Poste both at Geneseo, New York, and abroad. Much of the source material used on this site comes from the Special Collections of Milne Library at SUNY Geneseo with the goal of demonstrating the connections that Dr. Poste made between the town and college at Geneseo, and to highlight the man who took librarianship to the front lines in World War II.
