ment in a large library soon becomes a
part of the accepted routine even in the
smaller library. State library commits
sions exist In thirty-two states, having
for their purpose the aid of the smaller
libraries or the extension of library work
in communities where no libraries at all
exist. The commissions promote this work
by the distribution of subsidies by giving
expert advice in the choice of books and
in cataloguing to small libraries, and the
freshening up of small collections In small
communities by the loan Of travelling
libraries.
To sum up, it may be said that it is the
purpose of the free public library to touch
the best life of the community at every
point. TO supplement and complement the
public educational system, and TO furnish
entertainment. instruction and practical
aid to people of every age and class with
out stint or grudging. If any reader who

library in his town will take the trouble
10 visit the librarian and ask to be shown
the library work in his own community,
he will be not only astonished ar its
scope, but encouraged by its promise.
