Clara Estelle Breed (March 19, 1906 – September 8, 1994) was an American librarian remembered chiefly for her support for Japanese American children during World War II.
After the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, many residents of California who were of Japanese descent were moved to remote Japanese American internment camps where they stayed until the end of the war.
Breed kept in communication with many of the children who were sent to the camps, sending reading materials and visiting them regularly.
She worked for the San Diego Public Library system for more than 40 years, including 25 years as city librarian.
