Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Libraries: A History of the Movement and a Manual for the Organization and Management of Rate-Supported Libraries Germany and France again are far ahead of us in point of number. Although in the actual use made of the books Great Britain will hold its own against any of the countries named. The enormous distance Russia is behind the times in the matter of providing for the intellectual wants of her people is evident from the fact that the first public reading-room in the Muscovite Empire was opened only lately in the city of St. Petersburg. The room is connected with a good library, to which books have been contributed by some public-spirited citizens. Admittance is free, and permission is given to borrow books for reading at home. The new institution is named after Pushkin, the novelist. But that the foundation of the Pushkin Public Library has no significance as indicating a change of policy on the part of the Russian authorities towards literature and the press, is evident from the fact that the Government has issued an order forbidding the editors of newspapers in Russian Poland to receive foreign exchanges! As one wanders about among the vast libraries in which some great English families keep under lock and key many rare editions Of famous books, worth their weight in gold, the reflection is inevitable that valuable as are these collections, they are not put to the best use within the range of possibility. Bound fault lessly, and shut up in elaborately carved oak bookcases that are seldom opened, inaccessible save to a favoured few, and on occasions of great rarity, they become little more than expensive articles of furniture. Books, like coins, are only performing their right function when they are in circulation. Hoarded up, the coins become only so much metal, and the books only so much paper and leather. In a Public Library, books begin to live among the people, and to exert an influence for good upon them. Oh! Ye gentlemen of England, who are said to live at home at ease, is this not worth remembering? There are vacant shelves of Public Libraries throughout the country waiting to be filled. Let these gaping shelves appeal to you! By placing your treasures upon them a new lease of life would be given to books you have prized, and it is impossible to say where, along the line of the generations to follow, they would cease to gratify and enlighten.

Download or read book Free Books for All written by Lorne Bruce and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 1994-01-09 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Free Books for All provides a detailed and reflective account of the people. groups, communities, and ideas that shaped library development in the decades between 1850 and 1930, from Egerton Ryerson to George Locke, from Mechanics Institutes to renovated Carnegie libraries. A chronological narrative, lively writings by the people involved, tables, maps, graphs, and period photographs combine to tell the stories of the librarians, trustees, educators, politicians, and library users who contributed to Ontario’s early public library system. The book brings to life a fascinating period of library history. The movement to use the power of local governments to furnish rate-supported library service for citizens was a successful Victorian and Edwardian thrust. Today, more than 500 public libraries span the province, serving as intermediary points between authors and readers and providing a wide scope of information and programming services for educational and recreational purposes. The libraries themselves are, in part, a tribute to the men and women who worked tirelessly to promote library service before 1930. This new study will deepen our understanding of the people and processes that established the foundation for modern public library service in Ontario and Canada.
