IN proportion to population, as tn
United States. With approximate,
100000 people, Norway has NOR
than 1900 state-supported free pub
! lie libraries, whereas the Unitet
States, with more than one hundret
million persons, has less, than 5,o0l
free public Libraries.
These facts, which have reached tn,
T. B. Scott Public Library from the A
merican Library Association, are citee
to show the need for tine "Books fol
| Everybody" movement, in which ths
local library is cooperating The
Books for Evel ybody' fund of ST..
100000, which is being raised by
friends of Libraries thruout the coun.
try, will enable the American Library
Association to perform the work of q
national library commission, encour-
aging the establishment and develop
ment Of public library service thruout
the United States. At present, thirty
states have free library service for
less than fifty per cent of their popu-
lations, six for less than ten per cent
and one for less than two per cent.
Despite the fact that the population
Of Norway is more uniformity served
by libraries than that of America, Nor
way, like other European countries
derives its public library methods
from the United States. Arne Kildal,
who recently arrived in America on
leave of absence from the Bergen Pub
lie Library to take up special work
for the Norwegian embassy in Wash
ington, reports that an increasing
number of Norwegian librarians are
attending library schools in the Unit
ed States. Mr.. Kildal, who is grad.
uate Of the New York State Library
School, at Albany, estimates that thir-s
ty Norwegian Librarians have receiv-
ed library training in America.
