Notes and News: EXPENDITURE ON LIBRARIES

Abstract

Educationalists can take a legitimate pride in our public library system. The aim of the first pioneers of the movement was to provide suitable material to assist in education, and throughout the years since the first Public Library Act of 1850, the libraries have always stressed the serious side of reading. That their use has increased so greatly since the end of the first world war is due in no small measure to our system of education, which has produced so many potential library users.
