Harry M. Lydenberg
Harry Miller Lydenberg (November 18, 1874 – April 16, 1960)〔"Harry Miller Lydenberg." ''Dictionary of American Biography''. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1980. ''Biography In Context''. Web. 26 Sept. 2013.〕 was an American librarian, author and book conservationist. He is best known for his decades-long career as a librarian and eventual director for the New York Public Library, American liaison to the international library community, as well as one of the 100 most important library innovators of the 20th century.〔Kniffel, L., Sullivan, P. & McCormick, Dec. 1999, p.43.〕 His written works describe his preferred library reference, collection and conservation practices, as well as his knowledge of the New York Public Library.
==Early life==
Harry Miller Lydenberg was born in Dayton, Ohio. As highlighted in Phyllis Dain’s biographical and historical account of Lydenberg’s life, entitled, “Harry M. Lydenberg and American library resources: a study in modern library leadership”, his early life necessitated that he learn what it meant to make do with very little and to conserve resources.〔Dain, 1977, p.452〕 As Lydenberg would be heard to quote later in his life, “Libraries as well as individuals must adjust themselves to circumstances, and will see their ideals affected by the conditions under which they try to realize those ideals.” 〔Lydenberg, 1928. p.19〕 As he applied these words to his career and work, so too did these words encompass the way Harry Lydenberg lived his life, from his youth through his career.
One of his earliest jobs, delivering newspapers, set the stage for what would be a long career working with the written word, and the mechanics of printing.〔Dain, 1977, p.452〕 In his later teen years, Lydenberg worked as a page for the Dayton Public Library, eventually going on to attend Harvard, where he continued to work in the college library, gaining knowledge of library organization and the importance of a well tended library collection.〔Metcalf, K.D. 1976, p.339〕 He graduated a year early in 1896 from his four-year program, while simultaneously earning the title of magna cum laude.〔Dain, 1977 ,p.452.〕
