Miss Moore Thought Otherwise: How Anne Carroll Moore Created Libraries for Children
Description
In the early twentieth century, Anne Carroll Moore transformed the way children experience books—turning reading rooms into welcoming libraries built for young minds. This engaging account traces her rise as a visionary librarian and shows how her ideas about access, imagination, and education reshaped library services for children across the country. Blending historical detail with a vivid sense of character, the story explores the challenges of advocating for children’s literature and the lasting impact of Moore’s standards, programs, and advocacy. With its accessible, narrative-driven style, this book illuminates themes of creativity, public service, and the power of libraries to nurture lifelong learning.
