taught at various schools and worked in libraries including the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh, PA, the Carnegie Library School, and the St. Louis Public Library. After Power retired in 1937, Columbia University offered her a position; she lectured there for two years before retiring to Pompano Beach, Florida. Power became active in Pompano Beach's library system where she helped appropriate funds to rebuild a library that had been decimated in a hurricane many years earlier. She finally retired in 1943 and moved back to Pennsylvania, where she lived until her death on October 8, 1969. Selected works A List of Books for Girls (1930) New York: The H.W. Wilson Company.
