Margaret Clara Scoggin (April 14, 1905 – July 11, 1968) was one of the first librarians to expand dramatically upon the idea of young adult public librarianship. Scoggin implemented several programs throughout her career at the New York Public Library that placed intense importance on young adult readers, which ultimately inspired the ever-improving teen librarianship seen today. She said of young adults, “They are a vital force which the library can both develop and use. They are the voters of tomorrow, the potential adult users and supporters of the public library, the emergent community to whom, theoretically, the public library belongs.” In 1999, American Libraries named her one of the "100 Most Important Leaders We Had in the 20th Century".
