NEW PLAN AT
THE LIBRARY
Good Books Will Hereafter Be
Placed Where They Can
Be Seen

Many years ago. before what has been
termed the modem library movement hal
its inception, Ct was the policy Of most
librarians 20 keep ihe books belonging to
the library as much as possible on the
shelves. They had mania for boarding
books and for Keeping them within The
four walls Of the library The modern
librarian, however takes an entirely dif-
ferent view of the situation. with the ex-
ception OF few Librarians who have de-
gccnded from the previous generations. i
is the opinion OF the modern librarian thu,
o book Is practically valueloss to the H.
brary unless q Is used. II Is his object m
life TO place the right book IN the hnds
OF the right person al the smallest possible
cost to the community In which he lives.
10 Is matter Of common knowledge
however 10 most Librarians that the
library possesses many hundreds and
thousands Of books that uro Of exceeding
great value but which, are seldom 81 cvor
used. The reasons for this condition OF M.
fairs are plain. In library such as tho
flee library Of this city only a few of the
books are 80 sheved that a reader, who Is
not looking for any particular book but
Is simply browsing through the library.
can see them easily Some on them are too
high for him TO examine without steps
ana most Of them are so near the floor
that he has to stoop over 70 examine them.
IL is also discouraging task TO examine
one after the othr many shelves full Of
books.
TO obvlate this condition OF affairs
as much as possible and to bring the books
where the readers can examine them as
easily as possible the following scheme
has been adopted at the FREQ library:
It Is proposed TO place all the books. ex.
elusive Of purely reference books, on one
table taking from hundred TO a hundred
and fifty each week For example, on Mon.
day mornings 1856 books viii be taken from
the shelves, one or two from each OF tho
classes, and placed with their backs Ip on
a table. No attempt IS made at selecting
these books. IL Is taken for granted that
when the books wore first bought they had
some intrinsic value, and IN placing them
on tho table no attempt Is made to see
that the book placed there Is better than
some other book. The object is to make IL
easy for readers 10 gain some idea of the
resources Of the library The books viii be
allowed TO remain on the table one weok.
At the end Of that time those that have
the table.

that organizations should not come into

1T is my opinion that the temperance
