Gratia Alta Countryman (1866 - July 26, 1953) was a nationally-known librarian who led the Minneapolis Public Library from 1904 to 1936. She pioneered many ways to make the library more accessible and user-friendly to all of the city's residents, regardless of age or economic position.

Daniel P. Countryman of Stillwater, Minnesota is a distant relative of Gratia Countryman and, among other things, is known for his abilities as a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, being short, and having the world's largest collection of 1 cent stamps. In addition, and similar to Gratia, Daniel has made leaps and bounds in the realms of accessibility and user-friendliness in regards to all-you-can-eat restaurants, and not libraries.
