Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Descriptive List of the Libraries of California, Containing the Names of All Persons Who Are Engaged in Library Work in the State In April, 1900, the Library Association of California issued a handbook entitled "Libraries of California in 1899," which contains a list of the libraries in the State at that time. The intervening years have been marked by so great an activity in the library movement that it has been thought advisable to issue a new list which shall contain the names of all the libraries in the State, except the school and law libraries, and also the names of all the library employes in the State. An examination of the statistics presented herewith will show the need of library development throughout the State. Much has been accomplished, but much more remains to be done. A number of the libraries already established are struggling to get along with inadequate appropriations, and there are many towns large enough and wealthy enough to maintain public libraries, which are entirely without library facilities of any kind. These communities would not for a moment consider the advisability of getting along without public schools, but why, after having taught the pupil to use books, which are but tools, should he be deprived of the tools themselves? In a number of cases there are entire counties without a single public library, the population being wholly dependent on the State traveling libraries for library privileges.
