This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1890 edition. Excerpt: ...that when the movement did once take root its growth was rapid, until now London, so far as these institutions are concerned, is like a giant Oliver Twist asking for more. On all sides there are buoyancy and hopefulness, and those who have stood by the movement all through feel that the battle has been worth fighting, because it has helped to place these libraries on such a footing that nothing can now retard their extension and development. The number of these earnest friends who, through evil and good report, have for a long period been like prophets crying in the wilderness, is large; and now that success is assured, the highest praise which can in connection with the movement be bestowed, is due unreservedly to those who have in the various parishes held aloft the torch of educational advancement. They are witnessing the result of their labours, and it is something of which to be proud to have borne a part in a cause which has brought elevating amusement and solid instruction into thousands of lives and homes. The parish of St. Margaret and St. John, Westminster, to its everlasting credit, was the first to adopt the Acts. This it did in 1856, and no further adoption took place until 1883, when Wandsworth followed. A lapse of twenty-seven years represents a far cry, and during that period there was much quiet sowing of seed, which was of unquestionable benefit when the break did come in 1886. At the end of that year, Lambeth and Fulham followed each other quickly with unmistakable verdicts, and gave us the turning of the tide which will ultimately lead on to the fortune of nearly every parish in London adopting the Acts. The progress has been so rapid and solid that it now requires but little force to help it onwards, and a few more...

Excerpt from Public Libraries: A History of the Movement and a Manual for the Organization and Management of Rate-Supported Libraries Germany and France again are far ahead of us in point of number. Although in the actual use made of the books Great Britain will hold its own against any of the countries named. The enormous distance Russia is behind the times in the matter of providing for the intellectual wants of her people is evident from the fact that the first public reading-room in the Muscovite Empire was opened only lately in the city of St. Petersburg. The room is connected with a good library, to which books have been contributed by some public-spirited citizens. Admittance is free, and permission is given to borrow books for reading at home. The new institution is named after Pushkin, the novelist. But that the foundation of the Pushkin Public Library has no significance as indicating a change of policy on the part of the Russian authorities towards literature and the press, is evident from the fact that the Government has issued an order forbidding the editors of newspapers in Russian Poland to receive foreign exchanges! As one wanders about among the vast libraries in which some great English families keep under lock and key many rare editions Of famous books, worth their weight in gold, the reflection is inevitable that valuable as are these collections, they are not put to the best use within the range of possibility. Bound fault lessly, and shut up in elaborately carved oak bookcases that are seldom opened, inaccessible save to a favoured few, and on occasions of great rarity, they become little more than expensive articles of furniture. Books, like coins, are only performing their right function when they are in circulation. Hoarded up, the coins become only so much metal, and the books only so much paper and leather. In a Public Library, books begin to live among the people, and to exert an influence for good upon them. Oh! Ye gentlemen of England, who are said to live at home at ease, is this not worth remembering? There are vacant shelves of Public Libraries throughout the country waiting to be filled. Let these gaping shelves appeal to you! By placing your treasures upon them a new lease of life would be given to books you have prized, and it is impossible to say where, along the line of the generations to follow, they would cease to gratify and enlighten.

A problem patron is not one with difficult requests or obscure interests, but one who displays behavior that is deemed destructive, criminal, bothersome, offensive, or otherwise inappropriate. Librarians look at the nature of the problem in academic and public libraries, the impact of such technologies as the Internet and cell phones, and solutions from other professions as well as from the experience of librarians.

Public libraries have strangely never been the subject of an extensive design history. Consequently, this important and comprehensive book represents a ground-breaking socio-architectural study of pre-1939 public library buildings. A surprisingly high proportion of these urban civic buildings remain intact and present an increasingly difficult architectural problem for many communities. The book thus includes a study of what is happening to these historic libraries now and proposes that knowledge of their origins and early development can help build an understanding of how best to handle their future.
