Charltoiii of Manchester University, continued: —“The chief sigil 6f a library’s real Usefulness is in the number of such bobks which it issues. By far the ffiost valuable sort of reading is recreational reading, ahd by far the most valuable recreational hooks are those written not for the purpose of giving learning or information, but simply bnd solely , for the purpose of giving delight. Librarians should hot feel uncomfortable if the great bulk of their readers like to read a hovel rather than any other kind of book.”
