The meeting was called 10 order by Mr..
william e. Foster. librarian of the
Providence Public Library. after which
Mr.. Frank q. Bates. the state librarian.
through whose interest and efforts the
meeting was called, presented careful
ly prepared plan, which briefly and con-
cisey set forth the aims and purposes of
the organization. Before this plan was
submitted, however. Mr.. Bates suggested
that the nomination OF a chairman OF the
meeting was in order and Mr.. VI. l..
Koopman. librarian OF the Brown Univer-
sity was accordingly chosen.
Mr.. Bates was then called upon and re-
sponded by saying that he had long been
of the opinion that there should be some
form OF organization among the libra
rians OF the state believing that such an
organization would be of great general
benefit. Among these benefits he mention
ed the following:
First-An Increase OF professional prtvl
lege and enthusiasm among library
workers would result from organization.
Second-The increase OF mutual ac
quaintance among librarians and library
workers throughout the state would he
of great beneft.
Third-The proposed organization would
tend 10 develop and bring out libraries
of the smaller libraries who are some
what retiring and fearful of their limita-
tions.
Fourth--The public always needs a
deeper interest in the libraries and the
proposed association would stimulate
such an interest
Fifth the organization would be a
power In making the public library a
force in the community and OF discover
ing methods whereby the library could be
more useful in the community. Moreover.
Mr.. Bates advocated that the public
meeting. held under the auspices OF the
association from time to time. would be
OF great benefit In bringing the library
and the public closer together These
and other minor reasons weret set forth
