LIBRARIANS HOLD CONVENTION
AT YOUNGSTOWN

When Ohio librarians and trus-
tees held their 45th annual conven-
tion in Youngstown, Oct 10, IL and
IL, one of the important subjects
that was considered was the Ii
braries' part in the national de-
fense program.
Librarians are already reporting
increased demands for books deal
ing with democracy, and for prac-
tical manuals on occupations relat-
ed to war industries. Material on
aviation, machine tools, shop work
sheet metal work, automobile me-
chanics and welding have been in
ing questions about conscription
defense appropriations and what
life in the army will be like.
Increasing requests for such
books raise serious problems for Ii
braries. To buy or not to buy
seems to be the question. If man
uals are purchased, are books of fic-
tion to be purchased in lesser num-
bers? Can increased support be
secured?
These are few of the questions
that librarians will attempt to solve
along with other dealing with ways
of getting material to rural people,
how to make the best use of young
assistants and the simplification of
the techniques of service in order
to free staff time for personal con-
facts with the public.
More than 800 librarians attend
ed to hear Joseph Wheeler, librar-
ian Of the Enoch Pratt public Ii
brary, Baltimore, but better known
to Ohio librarians as former librar-
ina of the Youngstown public Ii
brary, Virginia Kirkus, Robb White,
j. Donald Kingsley and others.
Friday, Oct. IL, devoted largely
to Ohio trustees who form the con-
Meeting link between the libraries
which must remain non-political
and the legislative groups upon
which they are depending for fl
nances.
