Primary object in the selection of periodicals should be to supplement the stock of books in the library by up-to-date literature not available in book form. The second consideration should be to aim at supplying magazines for recreation as well as instruction. On the same principle that crank and sectarian works are prohibited from the best book stocks so should periodicals of this nature be excluded. Trade, scientific, technical, and special periodicals should receive first consideration, and special attention given to the papers that cover the chief industries of the town to be served. A good selection of periodicals dealing with literature, art, science, etc., will add attractiveness to the room. Newspapers selected should represent the political parties impartially. The various press guides, lists published by large libraries, such as the Mitchell Library and Cannons’s “Classified guide to _1,700_ annuals, directories and year books,” _Grafton. 1923, 5s._, will be found useful in the selection of this class of literature.
