THE COUNTRY LIBRARY SERVICE CHOOSES BEDFORD JQESIGNED to improve country libraries throughout the Dominion by interchanging among them well-selected and up-to-date books supplied from a central stock, the country library service was inaugurated yesterday by the Prime Minister, Rt Hon M. J. Savage, at a gathering held in his rooms in Parliament Buildings. The service is to replace the present system of subsidies to country libraries. The two British-Bedford vans, which have been specially built for the service, were inspected before the ceremony. One van will tour the South Island and the other will travel in the North Island.
