The Instant New York Times Bestseller! A Good Morning America* Book Club Pick! Named a Best Book of the Year by NPR! Named a Notable Book of the Year by the Washington Post! “Historical fiction at its best!”* A remarkable novel about J. P. Morgan’s personal librarian, Belle da Costa Greene, the Black American woman who was forced to hide her true identity and pass as white in order to leave a lasting legacy that enriched our nation, from New York Times bestselling authors Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray. In her twenties, Belle da Costa Greene is hired by J. P. Morgan to curate a collection of rare manuscripts, books, and artwork for his newly built Pierpont Morgan Library. Belle becomes a fixture in New York City society and one of the most powerful people in the art and book world, known for her impeccable taste and shrewd negotiating for critical works as she helps create a world-class collection. But Belle has a secret, one she must protect at all costs. She was born not Belle da Costa Greene but Belle Marion Greener. She is the daughter of Richard Greener, the first Black graduate of Harvard and a well-known advocate for equality. Belle’s complexion isn’t dark because of her alleged Portuguese heritage that lets her pass as white—her complexion is dark because she is African American. The Personal Librarian tells the story of an extraordinary woman, famous for her intellect, style, and wit, and shares the lengths she must go to—for the protection of her family and her legacy—to preserve her carefully crafted white identity in the racist world in which she lives.

Excerpt from The Library Assistant's Manual A rural visitor at the Philadelphia Library Company after gazing with open mouth at the well filled Shelves turned to the reference assistant and said in a confidential tone, Now, isn't there some book that has it all in? He was referred to the bulky and voluminous encyclopedias. N he demurred, I mean some small book. Librarians are frequently asked many questions as to the nature of their work, not only by outsiders but by people in authority who ought to know at least the rudiments of librarianship. A library is a place where people seem to be doing the greatest amount of useless work, is a remark (probably spurious) attributed to one visitor to Harvard University Library. Others seem to think that library assistants have infinite leisure to read all the books under their charge. There is apparently a need for some small book on the general subject of library work. It is hoped that the free distribution of the present booklet by the Michigan State Board Of Library Commissioners will get it into the hands of untrained assistants and library appren tices who are in need of a brief introduction to library work.
