N.Z. BOOKS IN LONDON
Sir,-Your correspondent Sarah Campion rightly stresses the need for more publicity for New Zealand books in London. In justice to New Zealand House, however, I should like to correct the wrong impression she has given’ regarding its" library. Conditions which evidently obtained in 1949 do not obtain now. When I visited New Zealand House in 1952, I found it had a wellestablished and very well organised library. It consisted of a small but representative collection of New Zealand books, including the more important works of reference, and books likely to be of use to New Zealanders in London and to people emigrating to New Zealand, The selection of books is made here in’ New Zealand, The librarian, employed full-time in the library, was most efficient and helpful, and it was apparent, both from my own observation and from what I heard from other people, that the library was giving an excellent service.
