This chapter centers on the education and role of “ethnic” librarians during the founding and professionalization of children’s literature and librarianship at the New York Public Library, tracing a legacy back to Afro-Boricua public pedagogies in Puerto Rico. This chapter also analyzes the centrality of Blackness and activism project of Latinx children’s literature as a US tradition grounded in the work of librarians of color, interweaving the stories of Pura Belpré and Arturo Schomburg, both key figures in the Harlem Renaissance and history of African American and AfroLatinx literature.

The City

The recent history of urban public libraries reveals significant changes in the way librarians, city officials, and patrons understood the value of public institutions. Branch libraries in the South Bronx during New York City’s financial crisis of the 1970s reveal both the dramatic and seemingly minute developments through which the city shifted toward neoliberalism. This article draws on archives of the New York Public Library and the papers of Local 1930 (The New York Public Library Guild, AFSCME District Council 37).

Abstract From the early 1970’s to the present, this article explores the history of the New York Public Library volunteer program and explains how past volunteer initiatives have not only continued to support the Library’s mission but have created many staff led departments that still exist today. Volunteers help the library to support staff efforts to serve New Yorkers and the larger world.

O ensino da documentação começou, de maneira forma!, com MelvilDewey , na biblioteca do Amhrest College de Massachussets, em 1873. Por largos anos o ensino da Biblioteconomia foi ministrado por métodos puramente tecnológicos em quase todas as bibliotecas importantes dos Estados Unidos, inclusive pela New York Public Library; constituía essa aprendizagem apenas de rotinas de serviços técnicos. No fim do século houve um movimento que eliminou este tipo de treinamento e novos métodos foram adotados nas Universidade de Colúmbia, Illinois e Western Reserve.
