Booth Library was named for Mary Josephine Booth (1876-1965). She headed the library for 41 years, from 1904-1945, except for 2 years during WW I, when she worked overseas for the Red Cross and the American Library Association. She retired in 1945, five years before the library building named in her honor was completed.
