Sauk Valley Community College has received a collection of Illinois law books dating back over 150 years. Henry S. Dixon and Linda A. Giesen bestowed this collection upon the college in celebration of Henry’s retirement from law practice.
Since 1866, the Dixon Family has served the law and the Sauk Valley community. Henry S. Dixon, senior partner and former Lee County State’s attorney, along with his law partner and wife, Linda A. Giesen continued the family law practice, since 1963. To honor the history of the law practice, Henry and Linda gifted the Dixon Family Law Library to Sauk Valley Community College.
The collection is stored on campus for public viewing. A private unveiling will take place to honor the library and generosity of Dixon and Giesen.
