LIBRARY OFFICIALS AS CENSORS
MANY BOOKS SUPPRESSED BORROWERS NOT ALLOWED' TO SPECIALISE BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION. Copyright London, November 1-5. The “Daily News” discloses that certain municipal library officials are suppressing many books, including those of H.' G. Wells, Bernard Shaw, Anthony Hope, Arnold Bennett, John Maxwell, Anatole France, 11. de V. Stacpoole, and Eden Philpotts. The librarians, acting on their own initiative, frequently mark undesirable volumes with a red star and lock them in their private rooms. Borrowers are closely watched and prevented from specialising in a certain type of fiction.—Sydney “Sun’.’ Cable.
