María Teresa Freyre de Andrade (27 January 1896 – 20 August 1975) was a Cuban librarian and information scientist, the founder of the national public library system in Cuba (Red Nacional de Bibliotecas Públicas), and a pioneer of modern Cuban librarianship. She was the first director of the José Martí National Library in Havana, having been appointed by Fidel Castro after the Cuban Revolution in 1959. Freyre de Andrade envisioned a model of the biblioteca popular, a “popular library,” which, in contrast to a public library where “the book stands still on its shelf waiting for the reader to come searching for it,” would be “eminently active” in finding its readers.
