Description

(COLOR PRINTED EDITION) A "Goddess," a "fire starter," a free spirit, but first of all a librarian, Marilla Waite Freeman (1870-1961) was one of the most brilliant minds in America during the first half of the twentieth century. Artists revered her (she inspired poems, novels and musical compositions), entire communities were indebted to her, little kids on the street would recognize her as "the Library Lady." She was determined to make libraries the "power house" of society, and to use literacy as the key for the pursuit of happiness. Marilla obtained a degree in Literature from the University of Chicago (1897) and a Law Degree from the University of Memphis (1921). She was devoted most of her life to promoting the appreciation of poetry and worked for libraries in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, New Jersey, Tennessee, Massachusetts, New York and Cleveland, where she was librarian of the second largest public library in the country Nothing seemed alien to her interest. In addition to her many influential articles on general and reference librarianship, she wrote about censorship, the role of libraries in war times, hospital libraries, adult education, the film industry, and the relationships between the libraries and their communities. Her many achievements and distinctions also included being a contributing writer to the Encyclopedia Americana, being the First Vicepresident of the American Library Association and receiving a Distinguished Service Medal on the 50th Anniversary of the University of Chicago. After her death, Marilla fell into oblivion. For almost five decades her legacy stayed in the shadows. But now she is back to business and ready to be the inspiration many people need. It is time for the Library Lady to become the living legend she was meant to be.
