Margaret Read MacDonald: Hi, my name is Margaret Read MacDonald and there's a Read in my name, R-E-A-D, which surprises people. They think I made it up because I'm an author and I'm also a children's librarian but actually, that was my maiden name. I was born Margaret Read, 'cause my father was Murray Read and my grandpa was Parly Garfield Read. I used to go to all the schools and say, "My name is Miss Read, I'm the librarian and I came to tell you all to read books."
