Tt scems but a vears since librarians’ meetings solemnly discussed the issueing of an cxtra card so that he who was wed- ded to his novel might take an addi- tional book of non-fiction. Some of our readers will remember the large blue card which the Tnstitute adopt- ed. The librarvian will never forget the jar to her satisfaction produced by a reader, who had taken out a history every week for several months, one whom the new privilege seemed to be leading from the flowery meadows of fiction to mew height of thought. Then the day herself. “Why do out these things, 1 never read them 2" The next revolution was in the best library circles was to offer the reades all the non-fiction he would home. Later two books: of were timidly permitted. The not falling, a few libraries, among them the New York Public Library, now issue six books of fiction on one charge.
