Pictured here is Mildred Young, who was a post librarian at Camp Buckner, North Carolina, during World War II. Thereafter, she was promoted to chief of the Army Library Branch’s procurement section. And in September 1948, she rose to the position of chief of the Army Library Branch. She was the first woman to take charge of the Army’s libraries and earned a reputation for her outstanding work.
