Who Was James Yates?

Abstract

Stanley Jast, who could be brash and also subtle in over‐ and in under‐statement once said to the writer that librarians as a class were much too bashful. He observed that most of the town librarians who had crossed the library stage since public libraries began were quiet lads who had done their duty, taken their cash, and let the credit go. Only now and again had one stood out to catch the limelight of the stage, and quickly it would darken again. We leave this great thought to our readers.
