has abstract	Francis Regis St. John (June 16, 1908 – July 19, 1971) was an American librarian and director of the Brooklyn Public Library from 1949 to 1963. In 1999, American Libraries named him one of the "100 Most Important Leaders We Had in the 20th Century". St. John was born in Northampton, Massachusetts. He attended Northampton High School and worked in the Forbes Library as a page and desk assistant. He attended Amherst College, studying botany and working as a student assistant in the library. He graduated in 1931 with an AB. The next year, he graduated with a BLS from the Columbia University . That year he also began working for the New York Public Library, holding a number of positions. In 1939, he became assistant director under Joseph L. Wheeler at the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, Maryland. Two years later he returned to the NYPL as head of the circulation department. During World War II, from 1943 to 1945, St. John worked for the Army Medical Library as acting librarian and then assistant to the director.
