Synopsis

Excerpt from County Library Systems: Their History, Organisation and Administration

It must not be supposed that there have been no successes, because this is far from the fact. In addition to the successful effort in Hampshire organ ised by Miss Sayle and referred to above, there have been other places - some Of which are known to the writer though there must be many others - where the organisation has been more farseeing, and where the fate Of having any fixed and inelastic collection of books has been realised. In some Of these cases, the library has become a subscriber to the People's Library or some similar institution, which for a comparatively small subscription sends out collee tions of books for fixed periods to any institution or person. The amount Of the subscription determines, Of course, the number Of books loaned at a time, so that the size Of the collection borrowed may be arranged according to the needs or the purse Of the locality concerned. Subscribers send in a list Of the books required which are supplied as far as possible.

About this title

Product Description

Excerpt from County Library Systems: Their History, Organisation and Administration This book is an attempt to formulate a co-ordinated policy for country public libraries. It also attempts to show that it is only in some of the details of administration that county public libraries differ from town public libraries, and that in essentials they are the same. Some of the theories advanced are accepted generally: some break new ground and await the test of time. I should like to take this opportunity of thanking many friends who have helped in the compilation of the book by their criticism; particularly my late chief, Mr. F. J. Peplow, Borough Librarian of Deptford - one of my many obligations to him; Mr. Bolton King, Director of Education for Warwickshire; Mr. Bolton King's personal assistant, Mrs. F. Heap; and my brother.
