Dorothy J. Streeter was the manager of Lycoming College's first bookstore, which was set up in August of 1946. Dorothy graduated from Lycoming College in 1934. She worked at the college for 35 years, before retiring in 1981. That same year, President Blumer announced that the store would be named for Mrs. Streeter, and the name has stayed since then. She now resides at the Williamsport Home.
