  • Isiah Leggett, Montgomery County Executive 2006
    Isiah Leggett, Montgomery County Executive 2006- 2018 Served in Vietnam, January - December 1969 From January to December 1969, Isiah “Ike” Leggett served as a Captain in the United States Army during the Vietnam War, first in combat with a Military Advisory Unit attached to the Army of the Republic of Vietnam and then as a public affairs officer with the 7th Support Battalion/199th Light Infantry Brigade. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal, the Vietnam Service and Vietnam Campaign Medals. Leggett was the first African American to be elected to the County Council. He served four terms as an At- Large Member (1986 - 2002). He also served as the Council's President three times (1991, 1998, 1999) and as its Vice-President three times (1990, 1997 and 2002). As a Council Member he also chaired the Council's Transportation and Environment Committee and served on the Education Committee. In November 2006, Leggett was elected to a four-year term as Montgomery County Executive. He was overwhelmingly reelected in 2010 and 2014. He served as President of the County Executives of America in 2013 - 2014 and as President of the Maryland Association of Counties in 2015. Born in Deweyville, Texas on July 25, 1945, Leggett was raised in small-town Alexandria, Louisiana, where he grew up as the seventh of 12 children in a four room house without in-door plumbing. His father worked at the local saw mill. His mother, he remembers, always focused on education as the way to get ahead and build a better life. While studying at Southern University, Leggett was elected student body president, commanded the university's Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) cadets, and was a campus and community leader in the struggle for civil rights.

The first building of the Association was a room over George Peter Esq.’s law office and the borrowing of books was restricted to members. Most of the members were men, although some of their wives also joined. In 1893 a group of private citizens in Kensington established the Noyes Library. The library was named for its prime benefactor, newspaper publisher Crosby S. Noyes. From 1893 until 1950, independent public or subscriber funded libraries provided limited services to residents of southern Montgomery County. Nine independent library associations operated facilities located in Bethesda, Four Corners, Gaithersburg, Garrett Park, Kensington, Rockville, Sherwood, Silver Spring, and Wheaton. The County’s good-government movement of the 1930s and 1940s included local agitation for an improved County supported public library service. In 1945 the Maryland Legislature passed the State Library Law which provided matching state funds for County library systems, based on a County’s population. During the late 1940s, the Montgomery County League of Women Voters lobbied for the creation of a County library system and succeeded in proposing legislation.
