This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Libraries, Their Development and Future Organization It was a wonderful system - as a piece of elaborate mechanism but it was a system that was deliberately fashioned for the purpose of turning out certain types of mind and character. If you have read that brilliant and horrible production of the genius of Mr. Wells - The Island ofdr. Moreau - you will remember how the wonderful gifts of the great scientist were devoted to the creation of repulsive simulacra of humanity. When we see the great kultur machine of Germany working at high pressure for generations and ending with the production of scientists whose supreme achievement is the introduction of the most repulsive savagery into the conduct of war, and of philosophers whose function is to justify and even to applaud the work of their confreres, we can hardly help feeling that in this, as in other directions, Mr. Wells has shown himself to be the most successful of our prophets, and that in Dr. Moreau he has shown us the logical outcome of German methods in education. It is, to my mind, one of the greatest virtues of the library move ment as an element in national education that it is necessarily an in strument of liberty and the enemy of over-rigid systematization. Our one aim is to put freely before those whom we serve all that is best in the world's literature. The student may perhaps be too narrowly, too specially trained in his academic routine. We supply the best of anti dotes when we invite him to wander among our bookshelves and to decide for himself what he will read! We are entitled to believe that it is in our power to play an impor tant part in strengthening those two elements in our intellectual training - freedom and morality - which will preserve us from the dangers into which the mind of Germany has been led by its drilled and regimented professors. There was a feeling in the early days of the war that we could afford to close down such things as public libraries and art galleries. That feeling is vanishing, and there is evidence ofa distinct change of attitude in the public mind. We are beginning to realize the short-sightedness Of such a policy, and so far from closing down the libraries, we find people beginning to consider in what ways these and similar institutions can be made to serve more effectively both the intellectual and practical needs of the community.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Index to the Pictures and Plans of Library Buildings: To Be Found in the Boston Public Library At the time when plans for a new building for the Boston Public Library were under consideration a collection was made by the Library of pictures and plans, so far as they were obtainable, while all such material in periodicals in the Library was indexed. The result was embodied in the first edition of the present list, printed in the Quarterly Bulletin for January, 1886, and May, 1888, and republished in the Library Journal, October, 1886, and September, 1888. The compiler, Mr. L. Whitney, of the Library staff, has continued the work of collecting up to the present time. Additional information was obtained through blank forms sent out by Mr. Putnam, recently Librarian, to such libraries as have erected new buildings.

Download or read book Peculiar Questions and Practical Answers written by New York Public Library and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Public Library staff answers questions remarkable and preposterous, with illustrations by Barry Blitt. Have you’ve ever wondered if you can keep an octopus in a private home? Do you spend your time thinking about how much Napoleon’s brain weighed? If so, Peculiar Questions and Practical Answers is the book for you. The New York Public Library has been fielding questions like these ever since it was founded in 1895. Of course, some of the questions have left the librarians scratching their heads... “In what occupations may one be barefooted?” “What time does a bluebird sing?” “What does it mean when you’re being chased by an elephant?” “What kind of apple did Eve eat?” “How many neurotic people are there in the U.S.?” In Peculiar Questions and Practical Answers, the staff of the NYPL has dug through the archives to find thoughtful and often witty answers to over one hundred of the oddest, funniest, and most whimsical questions the library has received since it began record-keeping over seventy-five years ago. One of The New Yorker’s best-known and beloved illustrators, Barry Blitt, has created watercolors that bring many of the questions hilariously to life in a book that answers, among others, the question “Does anyone have a copyright on the Bible?”
