Exerpts from a tribute written by the President of YALSA, Sarah Flowers: "Dorothy’s greatest contribution to YA librarianship, however, is the mentoring and personal guidance she gave to hundreds of librarians throughout her career, as a librarian in the field, a professor at five major library schools, an author, and through her work as editor of VOYA (co-founded with her partner, Mary K. Chelton, in their home in 1978). "YALSA and YA librarianship wouldn’t be what it is today without Dorothy. The YALSA Board of Directors offered a resolution in her honor in 2007, calling her 'the glue that that bound many of us together in earlier YALSA years,' and noting her 'wicked wit,' which belied a 'a heart of gold, a brilliant mind, a love of librarianship, [and] a strong sense of right and wrong.'
