With a view to gaining an insight into the administrative methods of the I>uiiedin and Christchurch pnblic libraries, Miss Scott (Christchurch) and Miss Slater (Dunedin) will exchange positions for a month, commencing siou that such an exchange has taken place within the Dominion, and good results are expected from it, although some time ago an exchange was effected in the staffs of the Auckland and Toronto (Canada) libraries. One important difference between the Dunedin and Christchurch libraries is that, whereas subscribers to the former do not pay any subscription, those to the Christchurch library do. The Christchurch library is self-supporting, and because of this, the ratepayers are relieved of the burden of having to find some thousands of pounds annually for such a purpose, it is stated that in the fiction department it is customary to put on the shelves of the Christchurch library up to 12 copies of works by such a popular author as Locke, but that in other centres a much smaller number is as a rule issued.
