BEING A LIBRARIAN: ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT. BY HENRY J. CARR, _Librarian Scranton (Pa.) Public Library_. In your presence, and in addressing you to-night as presiding officer, I feel to a far greater extent than I can express in words the high honor that has been conferred in each instance upon all who from time to time have been chosen to serve as a president of this particular association. There is in this present age, to be sure, no lack of those popular and peculiar entities termed associations--associations of many kinds, and for almost every conceivable purpose. Throughout the entire continent there exist few, perhaps none, whose history, objects, and work, have warranted a more justifiable pride in being a member thereof, than is found in being a member of the American Library Association.
