Excerpt from County Library Systems: Their History, Organisation and Administration
It must not be supposed that there have been no successes, because this is far from the fact. In addition to the successful effort in Hampshire organ ised by Miss Sayle and referred to above, there have been other places - some Of which are known to the writer though there must be many others - where the organisation has been more farseeing, and where the fate Of having any fixed and inelastic collection of books has been realised. In some Of these cases, the library has become a subscriber to the People's Library or some similar institution, which for a comparatively small subscription sends out collee tions of books for fixed periods to any institution or person. The amount Of the subscription determines, Of course, the number Of books loaned at a time, so that the size Of the collection borrowed may be arranged according to the needs or the purse Of the locality concerned. Subscribers send in a list Of the books required which are supplied as far as possible.
