Emerson Greenaway

Emerson Greenaway (May 25, 1906 – April 8, 1990)〔"Emerson Greenaway." ''Almanac of Famous People''. Gale, 2011. ''Biography In Context''. Web. 23 Sept. 2013.〕 was an American librarian of considerable note, particularly during the Cold War era of the 1950s. During his long career, he acted as the director of the Enoch Pratt Free Library of Baltimore, the director of the Free Library of Philadelphia and as a director of the American Library Association. He was also a highly respected scholar and an advocate for intellectual freedom in wartime. Greenaway also came under fire for his participation in anti-communist government committees. In 1999, ''American Libraries'' named Greenaway as one of the one hundred most important library figures of the 20th century.
==Early career==
Greenaway was born in 1906 in Massachusetts. Although he would go on to have considerable influence over libraries in all of the United States, Greenaway never lived far from the East coast. Greenaway was educated at the University of North Carolina School of Information and Library Science (then called “The North Carolina Library School”). Greenaway eventually received honorary degrees from both Wheaton College and Drexel University.
The true beginning of Greenaway’s illustrious library career occurred in April 1945, when he became the director of Baltimore’s Pratt Library. During his time as head of the Pratt Library, Greenaway introduced both a film department and the bookmobile, both of which continue to serve the Baltimore community today. Greenaway was a longtime advocate of adult education but also placed a great deal of emphasis on children’s within the Pratt Library. While with the Pratt Library, Greenaway also began to study international libraries. This fascination would follow him throughout the remainder of his life.
