This article focuses on the survey regarding the values and functions of the library. The National Opinion Research Center studied the functioning of the public library as a personal service organization and as a civic institution. The survey was conducted in seventeen cities, and 2114 persons over twenty-one of age. Two out of every five adults reported reading as a favorite diversion but only 25 percent made use of libraries. Those interviewed knew little about the services which public libraries rendered other than those of lending books. The American Library Association evolved standards for school libraries as to staff, resources, quarters, and administrative plans, in relation to the program of the school. Also, the educational film is now recognized as an important tool for public libraries in the recording and transmitting of knowledge and ideas. |
