The meeting of the librarians of
North Dakota and Minnesota, held
Jointly at Fargo and Moorhead, has
been distinctly successful, both from
the point of view of the visiting IL
brarians and the citizens of the two
towns. In carrying on the arrange
ments, Miss Mckenzie librarian at
the normal has been very helpful
factor. In addition to conducting the
round table for school and college IL
braries she has assisted in many ways
to make the meeting both profession
al and social success. The Moorhead
Commercial club did the handsome
thing for the convention, as it usually
does for all institutions of culture
that come to the city.
