Synopsis
Excerpt from The Question Mark, Vol. 12: May, 1957
Can we expect library workers with altruistic idealism and a spirit of self-sacri fice to work for remuneration below that offered for comparable endeavors in other professions? There are a few who are so imbued with the ideals of librarianship, and whose needs are so simple (or who have a private income) that they might be willing or could afford to continue forever in an underpaid status. However, most of us have to face the problems of leading normal lives, and must meet the costs of food, shelter, clothing, recreation and education and want to contribute a fair share to churches, charitable institutions, community drives, etc. In short, we cannot expect to attract to library work or hope to keep in the profession qualified people unless we offer payment commensurate with the talents demanded.
