Excerpt from Local Public Libraries and Their Relation to University Extension
Both of these courses, however, were experiments, and although several courses since have been conducted on the university extension plan, the library has not yet a systematic connection with the general movement, though such organization is contemplated this year.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an examination of the relationship between local public libraries and university extension during the late 19th century. Following the presentation of the concept of university extension in America by Dr. Herbert B. Adams, several librarians, including John N. Larned and F.M. Crunden, put the concept into practice in Buffalo and St. Louis, respectively. The author traces the progress of this trend in other parts of the country, particularly in New York with the influence of Melvil Dewey and the New York State Library, providing insightful context for its historical significance. The book offers a survey of the interrelationship between public libraries and university extension, exploring the ways in which libraries facilitated academic opportunities and educational equity through resources like lecture halls, reference lists, and interlibrary loan programs. The author also discusses the ways in which this collaboration allowed libraries to expand their roles as bastions of knowledge and community engagement.
