Excerpt from A Primer of Library Practice
In the succeeding chapters the writers have attempted to review generally modern library practice, to analyse the meaning, value and actual work of municipal libraries, and the effort is sub mitted to the reader in the hope that it may play some part in the creation of a wider understanding of, and sympathy with, a public institution which has yet to reach its highest functions, and to which it can only approach by a greater recognition on the part of the general public. While under obliga tion to no single work, the writers are indebted for inspiration and ideas to practically the whole field of modern library literature, and a select list of books which develop further the subjects dealt with in the following pages is appended.
