Sheril D. Klapp (1879-1937).

S. D. Klapp was librarian of the Hennepin County Law Library for almost twenty years. He served as Vice President from 1929 to 1931 and as President during 1932 and 1933 of the American Association of Law Libraries. He also lectured on legal biography at the Minnesota College of Law, the Y.M.C.A. Law School and the Law School of Saint Thomas College.

He dies on September 23, 1937, at age 58. The next year, in memorial services for the Hennepin County Bar Association, Edward C. Gale recalled:

"During his services as a librarian he gave freely of his knowledge of the law and its extensive literature and many of many the younger lawyers will remember him gratefully for the assistance he gave so generously."
