Give titles of 10 daily, 10 weekly, and 10 monthly newspapers and periodicals which would be your first choice. _4._ In a library system with a central department and four branches would you place any administrative work under central control? Give full reasons for your decision. 5. What do you consider to be the chief services a newsroom renders to the public? State what you consider to be the main objections to the establishment of newsrooms. _Lesson 2._ SPECIAL DEPARTMENTS. The several departments of which an up-to-date library is composed each have their own peculiar problems, all of which are incapable of satisfactory solution without special consideration. Library work with children is growing in extent and importance, and librarians of the immediate future may find this branch of their many-sided activities requiring their first attention. Note the special provision of lectures, story-hours, exhibitions, etc., and the special points to be borne in mind during the planning, equipment and arrangement of children’s rooms.
