Synopsis

This book is a comprehensive guide to library organization for small libraries. At the time of writing, training for librarians was relatively uncommon and the book was a vital resource for those who found themselves in charge of organizing and running a library without specialist knowledge. The book offers practical advice on collection development, management, and organization for libraries serving up to around 200 people - covering aspects such as record keeping, cataloging, book repair, and the promotion of a reading culture in the local community. These methodologies laid a foundation for modern library science and while the book includes historical references to offer context, it remains useful to librarians with little training or experience.
