The first part of this section must be carefully studied and I advise all students to thoroughly understand Sanderson’s “Library Law.” It is essential to possess a detailed knowledge of the English, Scottish and Irish Acts of Parliament relating to Public Libraries and Museums. The Public Libraries Act, _1919_, the Public Libraries (Scotland) Act, _1920_, The Public Libraries (Ireland) Act, _1920_, The Public Libraries (Northern Ireland) Act, _1924_ and the Irish Free State Local Government Act, _1925_ must be carefully read, and students should keep to British legislation until able to say exactly what may be done under the Acts and able to give dates and title of the Acts for particular powers. Note particularly Irish legislation (Sanderson, _pp. 40-41_). In conjunction with Sanderson’s work read the reports issued by the Carnegie United Kingdom Trustees. They include the Annual Reports from _1914_ to date. Library provision and policy, by W. G. S. Adams, _1915_. Proceedings of the Carnegie Rural Library Conference, _1920_. Stirling Conference Report: Extension to Burgh and Parish Library areas, _1923_. The Public Library System of Great Britain and Ireland (_1921-1923_), _1924_, and the County Library Conference, _1924_. Having obtained a thorough grounding from the above authorities the Reading List may now be commenced. For criticism on the _1919_ Act consult the _L.A. Vol. 15, 1920-21, pp. 5-7; 118-124; 135-137. L.A.R. Vol. 21, 1919, pp. 333-338 (Scotland), and L.W. Vol. 22, 1919-1926, pp. 330-333._ For county rural libraries Gray’s County library systems, and Macleod’s County rural libraries covers all the ground necessary to the student. READING LIST.
