Florence Ragland (1861-1949) served as the first librarian for Western Kentucky State Normal School (now Western Kentucky University) from 1908 to 1923. This biographical article documents how she helped develop and reference the collection with meagre resources. She also advised librarians and teachers on collection development for rural school libraries and taught both botany and English classes as Western during her tenure.
