The section dealing with children’s libraries in the appended reading list will require more time than many students are able to spare. In such cases Sayers’s “Children’s Library” should be read first, supplemented by the shorter articles. Consider also the best methods of co-operation between libraries and schools. The adolescent question is one of the constantly recurring problems which have exercised the minds of librarians for a number of years. With regard to the fact that the adolescent reader requires special attention, opinions may be said to be just as unanimous as they are divided in deciding the form in which that special attention is to be given, hence the necessity for fully considering the suggestions which have been made towards a solution. A special effort should be made to make the local collection as complete as possible. Ascertain the best methods of storing and making its contents available, and note what should be included in it. Increased activity is being shown in meeting business and commercial requirements. These vary according to locality, but every effort should be made to ascertain what has been accomplished in the large centres--Bolton, Bristol, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, etc., where a special feature has been made of this work. Obtain if possible, the handbooks issued by these towns describing their commercial libraries. In connection with the provision of music in libraries some rather novel suggestions have been put forward, _e.g._, the use of gramophones, wireless, etc. These proposals should receive consideration, and the replies and views expressed while they have been under discussion should be noted. Study the pros and cons of the policy of providing separate Ladies’ Room and Students’ Rooms, and their respective requirements in equipment, arrangement, supervision, etc. Attention must be given to the necessary procedure in obtaining literature for blind readers, noting specially the sources of supply.
