- Edna A. Brown was the author of more than a dozen children's books. In 1906, she was appointed head librarian of Memorial Hall Library in Andover, Massachusetts, the first woman to hold that position. She began to campaign for the addition of a room for children in her 1907 annual report. Her annual appeals for a separate space for children were finally successful when the Children's Room was added in 1926. She also extended the library hours, initiated an open shelf system, and started the Ballardvale Branch of Memorial Hall Library. She retired in 1939.
