_3._ What advantages would be likely to follow if all County Councils carried out the duties of library authorities? _4._ Write an imaginary agenda for a public library committee meeting. _5._ Compare the British system of training for librarianship with that of the United States. _6._ A public library service has an income of £20,000. Tabulate the percentage you would devote under the various heads. _Lesson 3._ BUILDINGS AND FITTINGS. This lesson is intended to enable the student to obtain a thorough grasp of the theory and principles of library architecture. The class of library required, its scope and size, the amount of money available, the environment, experience of the librarian and the method of administration intended are all factors that require careful consideration when planning a new library building. Great care must also be taken in selecting or accepting a site. Full factors in the planning of the various departments, together with the correct type of fittings and furniture, should be known to all students. I advise students to visit as many libraries as possible that are organised and administered on the most modern method of library science and to compare them. The factors on population in relation to buildings, spacing and cubical contents required for planning, and the miscellaneous percentages pertaining to the organisation of a library service found on pages _165-8_ should be practised and memorised. _The Builder_ should be looked through for specifications and competitions and these should be compared with those suggested by Champneys, Soule, Marks and others. The influence of the “open access” method of administration on planning, fittings and furniture must never be overlooked. READING LIST. Adams--Public libraries: their buildings and equipment. _L.A.R.
