- Maureen Williams was a children’s librarian at the Waterloo Public Library for many years. She passed away on September 1, 2004 in her 90th year. The Maureen Williams Memorial Fund supported the expansion of the picture book collection at all WPL locations.
Mrs. Williams was born in Linwood, and attended McMaster University, where she received an Honours BA in English and French. She received her Bachelor of Library Science from the University of Toronto. She began work at the Waterloo Public Library in the mid-1940’s. She retired from WPL in 1971.
Articles that appeared in the Kitchener-Waterloo Record in 1961 describe how Maureen Williams created a modern children’s library in the former Carnegie Library on Dorset Street, bringing the lower level of the building to life after it had been used for storage for 58 years.
