Chepesiuk 3 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Frances Lander Spain was born in Jacksonville,Florida on March 15, 1903, the daughter of MalcolmMacPherson and Rosa Olivia Lander. Dr. Spain's exposure to librariescame early. During her vacations from high school in 1919 and 1920,she worked as an un- -, trained assistant in the children's department ofthe Jacksonville Public Library. In 1925, after attending Winthrop College forfour years, Dr. Spain graduated with a B.A. degree in physicaleducation. In ti.e same year she married Donald Grant Spain and beganto raise a family. A daughter and son were soon bornto the Spains but, unfortunately, her son died in 1932 and her husband in 1934. After this great personal loss andwith a daughter to support, Dr. Spain decided to becomea librarian. In 1935 she enrolled at Emory University and, after a year's study, graduatedwith a B.A. degree in library science. In 1936 Dr. Spain returned to Winthrop College where she remained for thirteenyears, serving as librarian and head of the library science department from 1935to 1945 and as college librarian from 1945 to 1948. While at Winthrop, she continued her education, receiving a M.A. degree from thegraduate'library school of the University of Chicago in 1940 and,with the help of a General Education Board fellowship, a Ph. D. degreein 1944 from the same institution. In 1949 Dr. Spain left Winthrop to become assistantdirector of the School of Library Service at the University ofSouthern California with responsibility for instruction in children'sliterature. In 1951 she re- - 5 Ronald J. Chepesiuk 4 ceived aFulbright Foundat.f.on grant to serveas a visiting lecturer in library science at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand and as a consultant to librarians throughout the country. During her stay Dr. Spain played a leading role in helping to modernize library service in Thailand.As a result of the six-course library science curriculum setup by Dr. Spain, a one-year course leading to a diploma in library science was implemented. She also organized an informal group of Thai students who met to discuss library matters.This led to the creation of the Thai Library Association in 1954 (#103). In 1953 she left the University of Southern Californiato begin a distinguished career as co-ordinator of children's services at the New York Public Library. During her eight years at the NYPL, Dr. Spain's professional stature continued togrow. From 1954 to 1959 she served as editor of the "Books for Young People" section of the Saturday Review andas visiting lecturer to the graduate library schools of Columbia University, Syracuse University, Rutgers University and the Pratt Institute.From 1960 to 1961she served as president of the American Library Association, becoming the first children's librarian to beso honored. In 1961 she was cited as "Woman of the Year in Library Science" by the editors of Who's Who of American Women. When Dr. Spain took early retirement from the NYPL, shewas credited with having increased the circulation of children's booksat the library by fifty per cent (#103). Besides her role in the American Library Association, Dr. Spain was also active throughout her career in many other import- ant organdiations involved in library work. Her positions included Ronald J. Chepesiuk 5 the presidency of the South Carolina Library/Associationin 1947; membership on the Conference on LibraryStatistics of the Committee of the Southern Association of Colleges andSecondary Schools from1940 to 1948; and chairmanof the Intellectual Freedom Committee of the California Library Associationin 1951 and 1953. In 1961 she was one ofseven members of the American Exchange Mission of Librarians who participated ina U.S.A.-U.t.S.R. cultural exchange program. Four Soviet librarians visitedthe U.S. for a month and this was reciprocated by the Americandelegation for the same length of time. In 1961 after retiring from the NYPL, she returnedto her native Florida. However, her retirementwas of short duration and she accepted an offer to become director of library servicesat Central Florida Junior Collegein Ocala, Florida. Her work in Thailand was yet to be completed, and shewas asked by the Rockefeller Foundationto return to the country to help start a master's degreeprogram in librarianship at Chulalongkorn University. Dr. Spain acceptedthe request, takinga year's leave of absencefrom the college. So great has been her contributionto Thai librarianship that shehas been called "the founder ofmodern

  • A Narrative of Augusta Baker's Early Life and Her Work As a Children's Librarian Within the New York Public Library System B
    A NARRATIVE OF AUGUSTA BAKER’S EARLY LIFE AND HER WORK AS A CHILDREN’S LIBRARIAN WITHIN THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEM BY REGINA SIERRA CARTER DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Policy Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor James Anderson, Chair Professor Anne Dyson Professor Violet Harris Associate Professor Yoon Pak ABSTRACT Augusta Braxston Baker (1911-1998) was a Black American librarian whose tenure within the New York Public Library (NYPL) system lasted for more than thirty years. This study seeks to shed light upon Baker’s educational trajectory, her career as a children’s librarian at NYPL’s 135th Street Branch, her work with Black children’s literature, and her enduring legacy. Baker’s narrative is constructed through the use of primary source materials, secondary source materials, and oral history interviews. The research questions which guide this study include: 1) How did Baker use what Yosso described as “community cultural wealth” throughout her educational trajectory and time within the NYPL system? 2) Why was Baker’s bibliography on Black children’s books significant? and 3) What is her lasting legacy? This study uses historical research to elucidate how Baker successfully navigated within the predominantly White world of librarianship and established criteria for identifying non-stereotypical children’s literature about Blacks and Black experiences. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Philippians 4:13 New Living Translation (NLT) ”For I can do everything through Christ,[a] who gives me strength.” I thank GOD who is my Everything.

It is an economy necessitated by substantial deficits in the conference budgets, to which the publi­ cation of proceedings must be charged. The proceedings are a perquisite of membership. Copies are being mailed to all institu­ tional members, but the undersigned committee felt that distribu­ tion to individual members should be determined in this instance by request. By so doing, it seemed more than likely that substan­ tial savings could be effected and at the same time the needs of the membership be met. Consequently it was announced in the ALA Bulletin that all members so requesting would receive copies upon publication. Because of some uncertainty regarding the publication of these proceedings, reports of some conference meetings were not sub­ mitted. All material received, however, has been used, with a minimum of editing. Committee on Annual Publications Cora M. Beatty Ransom L. Richardson Leo M.

The choice of focus is a happy result of the catastrophic derailing of my original academic intentions. For the happy result, I must thank Bette Oliver and Hermina Anghelescu for creating an uproarious, visually rich, and most intellectually stimulating environment within the 191 square feet that once served as the editorial office for Libraries & Culture (Journal) . If it had not been for the lively intensity that radiated from that space, I never would have discovered that the quarters of a scholarly journal could be the nexus for such wide ranging discussions and deep questioning of academic traditions and the life of the mind.
