'''Lucia Madaline Tryon''' ([[1903]]-[[2000]]) was the chief librarian of Pensacola's [[West Florida Public Library|public library system]] from its founding in 1938 until 1968{{date uncertain}} and the [[City of Pensacola|city]]'s first female department head. The [[Lucia M. Tryon Branch Library]] was named for her in March [[1990]].<br />
<br />
She was hired by the [[City of Pensacola]] to convert [[Old Christ Church]] to the city's first public library, which opened on [[February 15]], [[1938]] with 3,352 books. She helped establish a [[segregation|segregated]] library for black patrons in [[1952]] and oversaw construction of the [[downtown library]] in [[1957]]. Tryon was instrumental in joining the Escambia and [[Santa Rosa County Library System|Santa Rosa]] library systems together as the [[West Florida Regional Library]], and she was especially proud of the first [[Bookmobile]] program in [[1963]], because it made the library's resources available to residents in outlying rural areas.<ref>"Spunk, energy inspire start of Pensacola woman's career." ''Pensacola News Journal'', December 5, 2000.</ref><br />
<br />
Tryon was forced to retire from the library on her 65th birthday, which she told colleagues was "the saddest day of her life."<ref>"Lucia Tryon 'got out there and fought for the library.'" ''Pensacola News Journal'', December 1, 2000.</ref> She continued to volunteer with the [[Friends of the Pensacola Public Library]] until her health began to fail. She passed away on [[November 30]], [[2000]] at age 97.<br />
