However, this is not an exhaustive list and represents only a fraction of the black librarians who have made significant contributions to librarianship. Hopefully, learning more about these library pioneers will inspire further exploration of other trailblazing Black American librarians."

This was a great introduction to several librarians I'd never heard of. Digging deeper on the web, I found that Sadie Peterson Delaney not only used bibliotherapy to help wounded soldiers and veterans in the military hospital in Tuskegee, she possibly invented ebooks! For soldiers too weak to hold a book, she had the book projected onto a wall, and the soldier could push a button to turn a page. So stuff it, Kindle, you aren't so innovative!
