Meet Roosevelt's First Librarian

FROM THE ARCHIVES

Roosevelt University was founded by extraordinary individuals: some well-known, like President Edward Sparling, and some less-well known but no less extraordinary, such as the first university librarian, Marjorie J. Keenleyside (at left).

Reference Librarian Michael Gabriel has written a post about Dr. Keenleyside for the RU Archives blog, where he discusses how she may have been "overqualified" for the job, and explains how archives are helpful in preventing extraordinary characters such as her from being forgotten.
