Riassunto

Excerpt from The Children's Library a Practical Manual for Public, School, and Home Libraries

The brief chapters that follow may find their excuse in the fact that while articles almost in numerable on library work with children have appeared 1n library and other periodicals here and In America, no work has yet appeared in either country which attempts to systematise this fugitive information. I have long thought that a brief manual connecting the various methods would not be without its uses to those who are concerned as parents, teachers, or librarians with the reading of the young, and as no one better qualified has undertaken the task, I have pre sumed to write this little work. In the earlier chapters I have dealt with matters which should be known by all who conduct libraries whether in the school or the home and in these I have endeavoured to avoid the special phraseology of the professional librarian. The later chapters describe practically all the methods in use in public libraries for catering for children. The whole work, however, is connected, and the non librarian may, and I hope will, find it worth while to read it as a Whole. I had intended to prefix a chapter dealing with the history of the child's book; but when I came to marshal my materials, I found it was impossible to produce anything like a readable and satis factory sketch within the limits I had proposed to myself. The omission does not matter greatly.
