The interest is in such topics as the following:
The need for a basis of comparative library statistics.
Library extension.
Easy books for adult readers.
Library methods in the different countries.
Library service in adult éducation.
Library work with children.
Public library branches in hospitals.
Education for public library work.
International interchange of librarians.
On behalf of my associâtes in the Public Library Committee (but without their
approval, for I have not had an opportunity to consult them) I offer the following
re-commendations :
1. That committees of the International Federation of Library
Associations be encouraged to give adéquate considération to the public library
aspects of the subjects with which they deal.
2. That in planning future library congresses the International
Library Committee (a) provide opportunity for the discussion of public
library problems, and (b) state in its announcements that the Congress is for
library workers from all kinds of libraries and library agencies.
A statement has recently come into my hands which was intended for
considération by the international group at Edinburgh in 1927. It is from Miss Margaret
Dem-chevsky, library organiser of the Ministry of Education in Bulgaria, and proposes the
création of an International Lending Library and Information Bureau for Librarians.
It would, according to Miss Demchevsky’s plans, assemble publications about libraries
from all countries, issue catalogues of all such publications, give advisory assistance on
library problems and, under the International Library Committee, work toward
uniform statistics, terminology, bibliographical abbreviations and methods of presenting
bibliographical data. It might also aid in effecting the international interchange of
librarians.
As chairman of one of the committees, I take this opportunity to express the hope
that the graduai development of the office of the Secretary of our Federation will be
in the direction indicated by the above paragraph.
Respectfully submitted,
Carl H. Milam
Chairman Committee on Public Libraries.
