Al 4our Library

When you step into c public It. brary to look q, your faHorito mRea- zine, or ask for the latc st book do you ever stop to think how Compara- lively short q time people have had Ihis privilege? IibroM0ns this year are giving special attention 10 the history of public libraries in the United States because fifty year ago the American Library association (Our national SoCictE)Was organized and the first school to train lihraians was opened at Albany. Only few of the pioneers in tho profession are still carrying on, yet there are many people who ,ln look back to their childhood and remember that they had no boys and girls room gay with books and pictures where they might go after school. If d town possessed q public library it was for proW-ups and they had 10 pay q fee Tor it's use and were limited 10 one or two books at q time. Two oh- jrcts are before the American li- ItlbIN uSNpNld lpll llllS JNbll'' N'tl NN secure nation wide increase in members of the association, bringing together for mutual help all those lvitally interested in library progress and movement 10 cooperate with Iothcr educational groups 10 extend adult education. Librarians and the public have come to see so many ways of contributing to modern life Ithat the old idea of housing q col lection of books and grudgingly loaning out q few, is fast disappear ing. It is no longer possible for the library worker 10 sit among hlS books waiting for patrons, too many interests arc Clamoring for attcntior and the successful library is the on { that embraces every opportunity tt
