Tessa Kelso
Teresa Laura "Tessa" Kelso (May 1863 – August 14, 1933) was an American librarian, publicist and journalist who was head librarian of the Los Angeles Public Library. A local Methodist minister accused her of "sin" when the library stocked a book that offended him; she sued him for malicious slander, and the case was settled in her favor, in 1895. The digital collections portal of the Los Angeles Public Library is named "Tessa" after her.
