good sized libraries, but usually
at first they are supplied with
) collections of one hundred volum.
eS or more which are left for a
period and then exchanged for
new collections. In this way al
though the collections are not
large, they are always fresh, and
in several years time the people
in each community will have ac-
tually had access to a collection
of books superior in number and
quality to the library usually
maintained in towns many times
larger. In addition to the books
from the branch located in his
vicinity, any person in the Coun.
ty may borrow books, pamphlets,
and other material from the
main library. He may have the
ADVANTAGE of its reference service
and in fact may derive all of the
benifitS from the use of the IL
brary which are possible to the
person living in the town where
the library is located. To the
schools in the county the library
is positive boon. They are fur
niShed with reference material,
and the teachers receive special
privileges in the way of extra
books, extended time on material
loaned etc. 1t should also be the
ultimate aim of the county library
to place collections of books in
the schools of the country to sup
plement the school libraries
which in the new schools partic-
ularly, are so inadequate.
The library gives opportunity
for still broader education than
can be given in the school. To-
the boy who is intereted in en-
gineering, it supplies the latest
work on wireless, the best auth
Ority on gas engines, on steel con-
Struction and mechanical draw
ing. To the farmer, it offers the
most recent books on traction
farming and offers an indeXed
collection of the best farm bullet
inS. In short the county library
like the city library, under the
management of a capable librar.
ian, is not only a mere collection
of books, but an active education
al force in the community. 1t
offers place for the young peo-
pie to 90, and gives the people
from the country who are doing
their trading in town, a place of |
their own, where they may feel
free to 90 to read and to rest.
These things are possible in a
county system, with small tax,
because the expdnse is not borne
by a few people but is shared by
every tax payer in the county,
and because the one system is so
much more eComical, than the |
maintenance of several Seperate
small libraries.
Signatures of any voters in the
county will be solicited at Kado. |
