He was chief librarian of the Toronto Public Library from 1908 until his death, a time of great expansion in that library system. In 1926-27 he became the second Canadian to be president of the American Library Association.[1] The George H. Locke Memorial Branch of the Toronto Public Library, which opened in 1949, is named after him.[2][3] BiographyLocke was born in Beamsville, Ontario and was educated at Ryerson Public School in Toronto, Brampton High School, and Collingwood Collegiate Institute. He studied at Victoria University,[4] and graduated from the University of Toronto in 1893. After graduating, he taught as a professor of ancient history at the University of Toronto and continued to teach at other colleges in subsequent years. He served as editor of the School Review while at the University of Chicago and was also the author of books on Canadian history. He was survived by his wife Grace Moore Locke.[5] Bibliography
