Mary Eileen Ahern

Mary Eileen Ahern (October 1, 1860-May 22, 1938)〔''Dictionary of American Library Biography.'' (1978). Bohdan Wynar, ed. "Ahern, Mary Eileen (1860-1938)." Littleton, Colorado: Libraries Unlimited. p. 5-7. ISBN 0-87287-180-0〕 was a librarian and leader of the modern library movement.She has been selected as one of the "100 of the Most Important Leaders We Had in the 20th Century" in the ''American Libraries'' list published in 1999.〔Kniffel, L:"100 of the Most Important Leaders We Had in the 20th Century", ''American Libraries'', 30(11).〕 She was an important influencer and early organizer of libraries in America. Mary Ahern was a crusader for the value of public libraries in educating the public. In the first issue of the journal she edited, ''Public Libraries'',〔(''Public Libraries'', Volume 1 )〕 as reported in the ''World Encyclopedia of Library and Information Services''〔Wedgeworth, R:(1993)''World Encyclopedia of Library and Information Services'' ()〕 Mary said, “There is only one solution of all social problems, an increase in intelligence, a gradual education of the people.” The best source of this education, she believed, was potentially the public library. This was a time in history when Andrew Carnegie was building libraries across the nation and Melvil Dewey created the Dewey Decimal System and help found the American Library Association. Mary wrote and spoke about this optimistic vision in the same editorial, the public library “is the broadest of teachers, one may almost say the only free teacher. It is the most liberal of schools; it is the only real people’s college.”〔''Public Libraries''(1896)1.〕 The ''World Encyclopedia'' states, “ She saw a librarian as a teacher on all occasions.”〔Wedgeworth:1993〕 Mary shared this vision with government leaders, teachers and librarians everywhere she went, throughout her long career.
==Early life==
Mary Ahern was born on October 1, 1860 on a farm in Marion County, Indiana.〔Dowd, M: ''Biographical Dictionary of American Educators''(1978)1,page 17,18 ()〕 Her parents, William and Mary, were Irish immigrants. When Mary was 10 they moved to Spencer, Indiana where Mary went to high school and graduated in 1878. Next she went to Central Normal College in Danville, Indiana. Her first jobs were as a public school teacher in Bloomfield, Spencer and Peru, Indiana. She became the Assistant State Librarian of Indiana in 1889. There she cataloged the state library and then she was elected State Librarian by the Indiana Legislature from 1893-1895. She lost this position when the political party in power changed.〔Wedgeworth 1993〕 Mary’s response was to fight for change, not for her, but for future librarians-she convinced the politicians to make this position one not tied to politics but instead place it under the State Board of Education.
