Newberry Library. Reader Services Dept.

In 1916 the Public Services (Reference) Division was created consisting of the Main Reading Room, Department of History and Genealogy, Edward E. Ayer Collection, and Exhibition Room.

Between 1916 and 1961 five librarians administered the Division: Gerald M. W. Teyen (1916-1919), William S. Merrill (1919-1928), Edwin E. Willoughby (1929-1930), John T. Windle (1931-1948), and Ben C. Bowman (1949-1962). In 1962 the Division of Public Services was disbanded and the head of each reading room reported directly to the Librarian (later to the Associate Librarian). In 1987 the Office of the Reader Services Librarian was formed under Cynthia H. Peters (1987-1989) and Hjordis Halvorson (1989-).
