A Library Primer

CHAPTER IV
1/3


Suggestions as to general policy of the library In general, remember always 1) that the public owns its public library, and 2) that no useless lumber is more useless than unused books.

People will use a library, not because, in others' opinions, they ought to, but because they like to.

See to it, then, that the new library is such as its owner, the public, likes; and the only test of this liking is use.

Open wide the doors.

Let regulations be few and never obtrusive.
