Miss Free could probably do arithmetic
"The first full-time librarian, a Miss Free, was appointed in 1908 at a salary of £60 (she remained on staff for 22 years, later as Assistant Librarian, resigning in 1942).[4]"

22+1908 would be 1930, not 1942. She might have had leave in the intervening years (maternity leave in the 1910s?). I don't have access to the book in reference 4 to check. IAmNitpicking (talk) 12:45, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
 * She did indeed leave at some point in the intervening years and rejoined the library. The book wasn't precise about the dates, just the "22 years". —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 05:41, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
