The Visible and Invisible in Libraries (1873)

The Visible and Invisible in Libraries is a book written by Anne Morton Watterston in 1873. The book explores the role of libraries in society and the importance of both the physical and intangible aspects of a library. Watterston argues that while the visible aspects of a library, such as its books and architecture, are important, the invisible aspects, such as the knowledge and expertise of its librarians, are equally crucial. She also discusses the need for libraries to adapt to changing times and technologies in order to remain relevant and useful to their communities. The book provides a unique perspective on the importance of libraries and their role in shaping society, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of libraries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
