ABSTRACT
The most drab place has been the scene of many phases of the human drama, and it is no unworthy sentiment which urges the librarian to collect the things that are about him or are near, arrange them, let his purpose be known, and to believe in the future of his task. There are various makes of micro-films, and the study of them is specially of value to the local collection. The Press, too, is often quite aware of the value to itself of the collection, and should be encouraged to draw upon it on every possible occasion. A word may be said upon the great catalogues of local literature which must be the pride of the libraries which put them forth. It has in it a classification scheme well worth study, and an attractive introduction.
