On Saturday, September 21 from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. at the Detroit Public Library (5201 Woodward) the library will host a lively discussion on Clara Stanton Jones and her groundbreaking achievements at the Detroit Public Library. Author Dr. Renate Chancellor will
discuss her new book, Clara Stanton Jones: Breaking the Glass Ceiling in the Detroit Public Library. The biography tells the story of Clara Stanton Jones, the first woman to direct a major public library system in the United States, and also the first African
American president of the American Library Association. Mrs. Jones served as the Director of the Detroit Public Library from 1970 – 1978. "Clara Stanton Jones was deeply committed to serving the people of Detroit by providing them accessible library services
as well as relevant programming,” according to Executive Director of the Detroit Public Library Jo Anne Mondowney.” “Mrs. Jones created TIP (The Information Place), an innovative community referral service that was replicated in libraries throughout the country.
Dr. Chancellor’s biography is an important resource that captures Mrs. Jones’ rich legacy, and her leadership role at DPL and in the library world." Appearing in conversation with Dr. Chancellor will be Karen Lemmons, a retired Detroit Public Schools Community
District librarian who has been actively involved with the American Association of School Librarians and the Young Adult Library Services Association. This event is being co-hosted by the Detroit Study Club. This event is free and open to the public. You can
