Beschreibung
In 1999 "American Libraries" included this leading librarian it its list of "100 Most Important Leaders We Had in the 20th Century"; among other influential positions such as director of the United Nations Library, he served 28 years as secretary of the American Library Association, where his leadership earned him the nickname "Mr. ALA." TLS, 1p, 7½" X 11", Chicago, IL 1931 December 14. Addressed to Mary B. Day, librarian of Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. Near fine. Left margin slightly trimmed; staple holes at upper left. On "American Library Association" letterhead, Milam invites Day "to serve on the Chicago Centennial Exposition Committee for the year 1931-32" and discusses this committee's duties -- this exposition much better known as the "Century of Progress Exposition." Bold full signature. Accompanied by an "ALA Bulletin" front cover for their May 1948 issue featuring Milam's portrait and an April 1945 one-page article from that same publication honoring his 25 years there.
