From the Norfolk Public Library website:

The Mary D. Pretlow Anchor Branch opened as the Ocean View Branch on July 21, 1923 on the second floor of the Ocean View Branch of the Trust Company of Norfolk building on A Avenue. In 1939, it was moved into a large room in Ocean View School. It moved again in 1961 and was renamed for Mary Denson Pretlow, Norfolk Public Library’s second library director. [1]
