It all comes under the head, of course, of forming the habit of asking "What is most worth while?" before rushing headlong into thoughtless imitation of the larger library's methods, regardless of their wisdom for the small one.
The many-coloured panes, through which the light of day finds entrance, form no unfitting symbol of a library's contents, whereby the light of intelligence is poured upon the mind through as many varied mediums, from the deep, cold, black and blue of learned and scientific lore to the glowing flame colour and crimson of poetry and romance.
I would not wound the susceptibilities of any reader; but speaking for myself "Chicot" being beloved of my heart if there was a mean man, living in a mean street, who had the last volume of "Chicot" in existence, I would pour out my library's last heart's blood to get it.
But as she passed the library's closed door, she heard Miss Gardner's voice and a second voice and the second voice was the voice of a man. Startled, she paused. She caught a few fragments of phrases. Indignation surged up within her.
The basic design of the systems is no longer in line with current business needs and the fact that the British Library's software is out of date is often a hindrance, particularly as concerns cooperation with other organizations.

"And what will your little papa say?" "He won't say anything. He never does. The library's mine mine to do as I like with." "You've broken the spell. Isn't there some weird legend about women never inheriting it?" "Well, they never have. I shall be the first." "I say, if I were you, I should feel a little creepy." "I do sometimes.

The talk on the public library obviously includes some description of the library's purpose and resources both for use and amusement, a very general description of the arrangement of the books, possibly some description of the card catalog personally I am somewhat skeptical as to the utility of the card catalog for grade pupils and finally, possibly an explanation of the encyclopedia.
A library's funds are never sufficient for all the work that lies before it. Consequently, the work a library elects to do is done at the cost of certain other work it might have done. The library always puts its funds, skill and energy upon those things which it thinks are most important, that is, are most effective in the long run, in educating the community.
It is a republic's, a public school problem, viz.: How is it possible to raise to a higher average the lowest, without reducing to a dead level of mediocrity the citizens of superior possibilities? Our relation to publisher and parent, to the library's adult open shelves of current fiction enter into the problem.
