Eileen Colwell
Eileen Hilda Colwell (June 16, 1904 – September 17, 2002) was a pioneer children’s librarian, "the doyenne of children's librarianship in Great Britain".
==Life==
Born in Robin Hood’s Bay in Yorkshire, Colwell was the third daughter of a Methodist minister. She obtained a scholarship and studied librarianship at University College London. She had become interested in the idea of a children’s library at an early age but found that the course (then the only one of its kind in the country) did not cover the subject.〔(Eileen Colwell ), ''The Telegraph'', 18 September 2002〕
After leaving college she worked at Bolton Library before obtaining the new post of Children's Librarian for Hendon Urban District in October 1926. Mostly providing schools with "book cupboards" she built the children’s collection (2,000 volumes) from scratch. In 1929 Colwell was made permanent children's librarian with the opening of Hendon Library where she remained for forty years. She pioneered the use of story telling hours (sometimes with a puppet called Jacko), and even let the children help with the running of the library.
In 1937 Colwell helped found the Association of Children's Librarians, later integrated as the Youth Library Section of the Library Association.〔 In 1965 she was made an MBE. In 1967 she left Hendon, and for a while lectured at Loughborough University.〔 She made several radio programs with the BBC and even appeared on ''Jackanory''.
