This is a biography of Dulcina DeBerry -- "American educator and librarian who became the first African American to work as a librarian" -- per Wikipedia. She was First Director of the Dewberry Branch Library. "Born: June 12 1878 York South Carolina. Died: December 29 1969 Cleveland Ohio. Notes: Mrs. DeBerry's parents moved to Huntsville with her younger siblings after she had established herself independently. But when her ailing mother needed care she came to Huntsville in support of that cause. She was accustomed to a busy life as an educator librarian mother and pastor's wife. She soon found herself looking for ways to make constructive use of her spare time. On her first trip to the Huntsville's city library she was told there were rules prohibiting access for African Americans. But Mrs. Beamguard city librarian agreed to take responsibility for an exception in Mrs. DeBerry's case. Mrs. DeBerry went home with three books but the arrangement troubled her. She thought access to this important resource should be free without special arrangements. She prepared for a conversation with Mrs. Beamguard but she never had to make her points. When she returned arrangements had been made for her to talk with Mr. Hoyt Galvin Director of the Huntsville Public Library. "Mr. Galvin opened the discussion by explaining the library project. He explained to her that W.P.A Works Progress Administration initiated a program in 1935 to relieve unemployment. The program later renamed Works Project Administration would sponsor worthy public projects. The opening of a reading room for Negroes could qualify as one of its projects. The W.P.A.'s policy provided the books and the librarian and required that the community acquire the housing and furnishing." Mrs. DeBerry said she thought Lakeside Methodist Church would make some space available for a reading room. Based on that arrangement Dulcina DeBerry became the first librarian servicing the African American population in Huntsville. - Torrence. Daughter of Henry and Violet Torrence - Huntsville Historical Review. "The Director of Regional Library Services Mr. Hoyt Galvin gave Mrs. DeBerry a key to the church basement told her to see what she could find and to make something of it if she could. She found a dark damp room furnished with two ugly unpainted tables two rough benches and a schoolroom desk with no chair. The holdings 27 juvenile volumes 39 books for adults and 10 used magazines were stored in a large unpainted drygoods box. Mrs. DeBerry had ten days to get all in order for the library opening June 10 1940. She and her helpers two high school boys painted the six pieces of furniture and thoroughly cleaned the basement. The minister's wife Mrs. Z. K. Jackson donated a chair for the librarian to use. A group of young girls gave pots of growing flowers to decorate the window seats." - Huntsville Historical Review. Mrs. DeBerry served as librarian from 1940 until 1951 when she moved back to her home in Raleigh NC. During her tenure in Huntsville the collection circulation and conditions improved dramatically. - Huntsville Historical Review.". SIGNED by the AUTHOR. 1st ed No additional printings listed.
