Other Professional Work

Edith Granger Hawkes had a life full of professional accomplishments including her own published poetry and numerous articles, as well as other work within the literary and library world.

Edith Granger presented a lecture at the Summer School of Library Methods held at Berkeley, June 24 to August 3, 1907.

"Miss Granger in a very interesting lecture told of her Index to Poetry and Recitations. As a recognition of her great service to libraries in general, the librarians from about the Bay were invited to meet Miss Granger. The Art Gallery where the school was held being too small, Hearst Hall was secured for this occasion, and an audience of about sixty was present."

Clipping of "Index to Public Libraries" article

Granger’s Index to Poetry was not Edith’s only indexing job. According to the November 1908 Public Libraries (p. 355).

Index to Public Libraries

"It is the present purpose to send out the index to PUBLIC LIBRARIES for 1908 with the January 1909 number of the magazine. For some unknown reason there is always a demand for extra copies of the index several months after it is has been sent, and attention is called to the matter at this time, so that the receipt of the index later may not pass unnoticed.

We are pleased to be able to state that we have secured the services of Mrs. Edith Granger Hawkes, well known as the compiler of valuable indexes of various kinds, to prepare the PUBLIC LIBRARIES index for 1908, thus insuring an accurate and comprehensive piece of work."
