NEW METHOD IN LIBRARIES.
Two Weeks Rule To Be Revised-Student
May Keep Books as Long as Necessary.

1t will be good news to all who have ever been
plagued with the two weeks ruls in libraries that
the New-York Public Library intends to let people
who require books for any definite serious work
keep them as long they need them
The circulating department has Just announced
that persons undertaking special studies doing
other definite literary work. together with night
school students and candidates for Civil. Service
examinations. may make arrangements to secure
the books necessary for such study and may renew
them monthly
This movement for greater freedom in the use of
the libraries books originated in Webster branch,
Edwin White GaIlard, entertafnS some rather
radical IDEAS that subject In his opinion, the
rules Of most libraries TO be specially con-
structed to keep the books in the library.
Permit the OF books" he says advertise
the fact and you viii be overwhelmed. That is the
whole truth. To make a library really Of use it
seems to me truism to say that the people must
have an opportunity to ths books.
''The rule Of two books for two weeks should, in
my opinion be utterly abolished. Frequently it is
necessary to have a dozen books ones desk to
be able clearly to comprehend one that is being
read with view OF accomplishing given result
Books Of this character cannot be read in two
four or six weeks. very often. Then. too a
man may be interested in a dozen subjects which
very closely relate to one another. To my way Of
TO take as many books as he needs and TO keep
THE obvious objections to such course are
after all the very ones which were raised in re-
gard to the circulation OF books at all-that when
the books were needed they were out After
eral years Of experiment and other years OF prac-
tice with the liberal rule I have this 70 re-
port as my iudgn znt: Books other than popular
novels and rare out Of print volumes should
be loaned for long period necessary and
as many at one time actually needed, but with
the provision that they must be renewed once each
month, in person, with the books, and with a
clear understanding that any all must be re-
turned to the library upon days notice, de-
livered to library messenger upon request after
two weeks time has elapsed from the date of
borrowing. In practice the trouble Of renewing
books Will check the tendency to take undue ad-
vantage Of the rule.
II know literally Of scores OF persons who are
doing systematic work for their advancement who
would have been unable to do had they been
obliged TO buy the books which they needed. or
they been confined either TO a reference library
that lent two books only for weeks
with the privilege Of one renewal"
