“I noticed an excessive number of papers in the libraries in small towns,'' said Miss E. J. Carnell, who recently arrived from England to take up the post of liaison officer between the Country Library Service and the New Zealand Library Association. Miss Carnell has just finished a month's tour of the towns in the South Island. "Sometimes there were 30 papers in tiny little places, and if one goes, there’s an uproar,” she said. "On the other hand, the children's department, if there is one, is absolutely starved for books. In America the children's department is regarded as the most important. Generally, the emphasis here seems to bo on quantity, not quality.”
