The old idea of a library was 8 place where books were "kept". Now the idea is not to keep them there, ‘but to get them out to circul- ate among the people. ‘Phat is the meet successful librarian who can induce mast people to use books.

The di- rection of the library in helped by organizations which aid in train- ing librarians. keep tho ideals and standards high, pass on statistics and experiments that library truste- ee may bring their own institution up to the standards of tho best, and keep the librarians informed as b0 what are the best books, to date,
