William Howard Brett (July 1, 1846 – August 24, 1918) was head librarian for the Cleveland Public Library from 1884 to 1918. ''American Libraries'' described him as one of the “100 most important leaders (librarians) had in the 20th century”〔Leonard Kniffel, P. S. (1999, December). 100 of the Most Important Leaders we had in the 20th Century. American Libraries〕 ==Introduction== As Cleveland Public Library’s head librarian William H. Brett introduced the “open shelf”idea to the library system and increased the collection to over 3 million books and periodicals before his death. Mr. Brett lobbied and received funding to build library branches in the city neighborhoods. William Brett believed in professional development and training in librarianship and so spearheaded a program at Western Reserve University (now Case Western Reserve University) and later became dean of the “library school” established in 1903. Mr. Brett continued his contributions to the profession by being president of the American Library Association, founder and first president of the Ohio Library Association, and passionate writer. One interesting fact is that W. H. Brett was a civil war veteran and was instrumental in the installation of “library service to the US soldiers and sailors in America, France, and other locations”.〔Association, A. L.
