Book Collection To meet the varied needs and inâ€" terests of a community, a broad colâ€"| lection of books, pamphtets, and pe~' riodicals on a wide range of sub~| jects is necessary, with intensive duplication of titles in fields of spe-g cial interest, constantly freshened by the addition of new books and | bers must be well educated, possess at least one year of library school training or its equivalent, and have special aptitude and qualifications for the particular work of each. Salaries of professional librarians should be comparable with those of other professions, and the work of professional librarians sharply difâ€" ferentiated from that of clerical or subâ€"professional workers. The staff should be of sufficient size to perâ€" mit efficient operation for as many houts as may be necessary for the needs of the community. | PRENCH LICK, INDIANA _ © *Home of Pluto Water" * T. D.

Local conditions involvâ€" ing the cost of building maintenâ€". ance, the area and density ‘of pop-; ulation as affecting the number of branches, and other factors, will in-! evitably affect the distribution. Ini general, the largest libraries willi spend more than the percentage inâ€" dicated for library salaries and less for books, periodicals,‘ and binding. Communities desiring full develâ€" opment of library service will find it necessary to provide a support much larger than the minimum, Exâ€" pert special services in coâ€"operation with local industries and’interests.‘ and extensive work with the pnblic‘ schools are examples of desirable 1i+> brary activities which cannot be adeâ€" quately maintained, upon the minâ€" imum income of $1 per capita.
