Synopsis
Excerpt from League of Library Commissions Hand-Book
The Wisconsin Commission was organized in 1895, and be came the pioneer and model for work in the West. Its activities now include the department of library extension and visitation, the traveling library department, the library school opened in 1906, and the legislative reference library.
In Ohio, a Commission was established in 1896, to have charge of the State Library and appoint the state librarian. Traveling libraries are operated as a department of the State Library. In 1906 an amendment to the law authorized the ap pointment of a library organizer, who began work in the fall of 1908, when the appropriation became available.
The Georgia Commission, established in 1897, is advisory only and has had no appropriation.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the history of library extension movements in the United States, detailing the challenges faced by early library commissions as they worked to bring books to rural areas. By the late 19th century, the public library was established as an important part of the American educational system, serving both urban and suburban communities. However, rural areas still lacked access to books, a problem that numerous states began to address by creating library commissions. The author examines the work of these early commissions, highlighting their successes and failures. Also included is a detailed look at the development of traveling libraries, a unique solution created to serve remote communities. The book concludes with an overview of the field today and discusses the challenges faced by modern library commissions as they continue to work towards making books accessible to everyone.
