Excerpt from Public Library Administration This little book will be found to contain information which to a certain extent is already known to those in charge of our public libraries. It advocates a policy of extension in the activities of those institutions generally approved by librarians. No claim is made to originality in any of the schemes dealt with, but in bringing them together in this form it is hoped that some good will be done by enabling those interested to obtain a knowledge of the subject which can only be procured at present by reading the various textbooks and professional periodical publications. Students of "Library Administration" (Library Association Syllabus, Section VI) will find it especially helpful in their studies, particularly the chapters dealing with "Special Departments, " "Aids to Readers, " and "Lectures, " as those subjects have not been dealt with at any great length in the textbooks. My thanks are due to the following members of the Fulham Libraries Staff - Mr. H. W. Moore for the sketches which are reproduced, and to Miss M. Gilbert and Miss M. Marchant for reading the proof sheets, and to the latter for preparing the index. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
