Excerpt from Bulletin of the American Library Association, Vol. 12: January-November, 1918 The Fortieth Conference of the American Library Association will be held at Saratoga Springs, New York, from Monday to Saturday, July 1-6, 1918.Headquarters will be at the Grand Union Hotel (1200 rooms, rates,$5, $6 and $7 per day, American plan). Numerous smaller and less expensive hotels will be available; names and rates will be announced in the May Bulletin and in the library periodicals. Directions will then be given for making reservations. The Program The theme of the program will naturally be the war and what libraries and librarians are doing and can do to help win it. Five general sessions will be held, the first Monday evening, July 1, at which President Montgomery will deliver the Presidents address. An informal reception will follow. At the second session, on the morning of July 2, the War Service committee will present a comprehensive report of the war work. The third session, on the morning of July 3, will take the form of a symposium on "What our library is doing to help win the war," with short contributions from five or six representatives of different types of libraries, with the "meeting then thrown open." The president is planning for a patriotic program on the afternoon of the Fourth, with perhaps an oration by a man of national prominence, and other features. Fridays session will bring addresses on the spirit of the war literature and the future of American libraries. The general sessions will be held in the commodious Convention Auditorium, a few steps from the Grand Union. The various sections, affiliated societies and round tables will all hold sessions, according to present expectations. The war will be their principal theme. The Agricultural Libraries Section will discuss the general subject of libraries and war service in connection with food conservation and production. The Catalog Section will have a paper on the work of the war work Indexers and catalogers in Washington and how catalogers can help. The theme of the Children´s Librarians Section will be "The children of a nation at war." The Professional Training Section will have a paper on the reactions of the war upon library training, and another on a couple of experiments being tried out this winter in secondary training in library work. The National Association of State Libraries and the American Association of Law Libraries will hold a joint session and one or two independent sessions each. "The work of state libraries in war time," "Collecting and cataloging official war documents," and "Recent changes in state library laws," are some of the papers on the program of the former association. The Government Documents Round Table is to have a paper on "Government documents relating to the war." The Round Table of the Libraries of Religion and Theology will discuss the war and the mission field, and the effect of the war on theological literature and theological seminaries. The camp librarians will hold a round table to thresh out solutions for some of the camp library problems. The other sections and affiliated societies have not yet announced their programs but are working on them. Saturday, July 6, will be observed as "New York State Library Day," and the Association will be guests of the New York State Library at Albany, stopping off there for the day on the way home. A morning program commemorating the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of that library, a luncheon tendered by the library, and tours of the Education Building in the afternoon will be features of the day, concluding In ample time for evening trains and the New York boat.
