He returned again to the NYPL in 1945, before becoming Director of Library Services for the Veterans Administration in 1947.In 1949, St. John became director of the Brooklyn Public Library, where he made his national reputation. During his tenure, circulation of materials doubled from 5 million to 10 million, the library added 17 new branches for a total of 55, and expansion of the Central Library was completed. Innovations like assembly-line book processing reduced costs, which funded expanded services like remedial reading programs.
