The popularity of a public library used to be conditioned by its rules and regulations, but during recent years utility has taken the place of hard and fast rules. The student should read the rules of early libraries, understand their principles and compare them with present day rules. The legal aspect of all sides of the library service must also be known and what powers are available for enforcement of penalties, etc. The number of hours the different departments are open to the public, holiday opening, duration of vacation for the staffs, age limits to Juvenile and Senior departments, periods of loans, etc., should be known to all assistants who wish to become qualified and efficient in their work.
