Excerpt from The Children's Library: A Dynamic Factor in Education
The function of the public library as a continuation school has not been fully recognized. How to educate adolescent children, who are often working children, is a problem as yet unsolved. The use of books in vocational and trade education is especially empha sized, partly because such training is well within the pale of liberal culture if properly handled, and partly because the significance of books as literature has been adequately treated elsewhere. Whatever doubts one may have about vocational education, in some form or other, it is here to stay, and probably for others than prospective wage earners. The public library as yet plays a small part in the lives of working children. Here is an attempt at an explanation of this fact, with suggestions which may help to make the library more useful to that class for which it has always been primarily intended - those unable to take advantage of formal education.
It is a pleasure to acknowledge indebtedness to those who have read the manuscript in whole or in part and have contributed criticisms and suggestions.

This book explores the dynamic role of books in education, challenging the idea that libraries are primarily recreational and cultural and should remain independent from schools.

The book also examines the changing attitudes towards books in education, highlighting the growing recognition of the importance of hands-on learning and the value of books as sources of technical information.
