Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
In the following chapters an attempt is made to set forth the various ways in which children are being sup Iplied with books through the instrumentality of libraries. The subject falls naturally into well-marked divisions. The first five chapters deal with the work of the public library for children, first, as public school pupils, and, secondly, as children. The remainder of the book treats of the efforts of the state to provide books for the young through school libraries. Since both movements began in the United States, and since that nation stands out so prominently in its advanced educational methods and liberal expenditures for both library and school purposes, a considerable part of the book refers to United States conditions. The Province of Ontario also receives a large share of attention, educational affairs in this province being of great interest to the writer. The various topics are dealt with, first, historically, then in their present-day relations, an effort having been made to bring the facts as nearly up-to-date as possible. The greater part of the material for this thesis was obtained from the files of various library and educational journals, from reports and pamphlets, and from personal correspondence.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
