Directly out of library school, she got a job as an assistant librarian at the Brooklyn Public Library. The following year she moved to the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh where she was given the task of creating a children's department. She opened the Library's Training School in 1900 and was director of the School and the Children's Department until 1911. She emphasized in her practice that public libraries have an educational role to play in the lives of children. She used the library and training school to test new ideas about innovative practice. She would then publish her observations in the professional literature so that the whole country could benefit from her experiences. The graduates of the training school also helped spread her ideas on best practice throughout the country. In 1911, she retired from the library profession so that she could devote herself to her writing. By the time of her death on March 29, 1963, she had written over 24 books for children along with a number of professional works.
