Is the best possible person TO understand
and meet the needs Of those who use
the library.
This is true also with regard to the ma
! jortty OF workers in the smaller branch
libraries, where tine librarian comes into
direct touch with the people. The posi-
bilities for interesting and useful neigh
borhood work are endless. EpeciaIly is
I this the case with the work in the chill
dren's department. All the larger Libraries
now have special rooms where children.
! ranging from the picture book age to that
OF the simple. wholesome novel. may come
to browse or to take books away. This
room is usually the most attractive in the
library and the attendants are especially
selected because Of their ability to amuse
and interest the little readers. The in
fluence they exert in forming the tastes
OF the children who come to them for
books is considerable. especially where
storytelling is a part Of the library work
In some libraries one sees in the chill
dren's room circle of cushions on a rug
In the corner. This place is sacred to the
story hour, which is regularly scheduled
and as rule overwhelmingly patronized
by the smaller children. In some libraries
IN addition TO telling stories in the room,
the attendant visits groups of children in
their homes or in Fairgrounds and tells
stories there
These are some of the human and in
innate sides of library work Another,
which is very important, is the travelling
library. which was originated by Miss L.
E. Stearns Of the Wisconsin Library Com
mission. For the travelling library. small.
Well-selected collections of books are as
sembled and circulated in rotation among
farms and villages at a distance from
any library. This work is conducted un-
der State authority. and has proved i'm
mensely valuable to book-lovers who live
far away from cities and large towns. So
important has it become that many States
have followed the example of Wisconsin
and have created travelling library COM
missions. Colorado has a law which pro-
vides that all members of its travelling
library commission shall be women, ap-
pointed by the Governor from list sub
mitted by the Executive Board of the
State Federation of Women's Clubs.
While women are especially fitted for
this personal kind OF work and occupy

it, many of them pursue a course that
leads along much more technical and i'm
personal lines. For example. the State of
Wisconsin maintains a legislative refer
ence department, where expert librarians
collect and index all sorts of information
needed by the legislator in framing bills
for presentation to the Legislature. With
the exception Of the head of the depart
ment women are employed exclusively to
