Don't you think of her a¥ a ftriendly, feminine person en- gaged In tho perpetual process of taking I and pussing out books. Ygu remember too thal yon hay overhdrd her attetapts %o ¢ swor the most extraordinary questions, such as: “What was the conception of 'the supernatural in the time of Shakespeare? or “What kind of time do they have in New Bruns- wick?" to say nothing of requests for books about drums, 1tailoring and fancy icings. You a vagu: notion that she probably does other things but are not very clear as to what they may be. As a matter of fact about three fourths of the work of a library is done lu§h|n-1 the scenes, Choosing Your Books For instance there is the very complicated proceas o gefting new books from the publ house to your library table, We hear about hooks in a great many ways, from lists, advertisements, re- views, and people: who have read them. And out of the floods that are published every year we ftry Jjust as far as possible to buy H\lmvK that will help you to master your job, to know your world and to en- Joy life, ’ Of course the actual buying it- self means making out orders and checking bills and carrying on cor- respondence with dealers and book- stores. Then we have to put on our ownership marks so plainly that when you start for a hasty trip to the library, you will know at a glance which you should take back and which are the ones that came as Christmas presents or from school. That is only one of the numerous details which one would never think of as library work but which do take quantities of time. Finally we are ready to decide how the books shall be numbered and ar- ranged to he most casily used, ‘What the Numbers Mean You have probably had the em- barrassing experience of handing in a slip for a solemn treatise on ad- vertising or engineering and being presented with a particularly frivo- lous bit of fietlon. And thereafter you resolved to find out what the mysterious symbols on the catalog cards and the books really stand for and why one has to give “every- thing written in red on the corner.” The first number simply tells what the book is about and the one be- low shows who wrote it. Suppose you have $21-8t4. The 8 means that it is literature and not science or history or any of the other things it might be; the 2 that it is written by an Englishman, the 1 that it is poetry and the St4 that that garti- cular Englishman was Stevenson. It ian't "always quite as easy as that though, for authors have a most in- considerate habit of wandering all gver the field of knowledge in one little book.and it is sometimes hard to know where to put it “I Want a Book About—" But since it can be put on the shelf with just one sort of books, we make up for that by having | cards in the catalog which will re- fer to it under every subject where you might find it useful. For in- stance you ask for a book on health. | We know that most of the material will be with the “60's” on a cer- thin shelf in the stack so we look there. But it we dldn't use the cata- logue we should miss the books on school hygienc which are with thosa on education in 370 and mind heal- ing in 131 and diet in 640, Then one necds to be reminded of re- lated subjects such as care of chil- dren and occupational discases. That is done by means of a card which comes after all the others and says “see also” and it pays to 160k up at least some of the head- ings which it suggests. All this means that we spend a great deal of time and thought in planning and making the cards. “Always Out” You sometimes feel as if this were true of books you want es- pecially to sce. It often happens that there is another in which will almost take its place, But when there: isn't we are very glad to take reserves on non-fiction. But how are we to know when the book is returned and remember to save it for you? You have noticed that when we charge your books we keep the slip from the back page. These are filed in order under the date the hook was taken and wait there in the file until the hook comes back. In the meantime we hunt up the one belonging to the book you want and mark it “re- serve.” So that when your desired volume eventually appears we can set it aside and send you your pos- tal. “Pleasc Return” Did you ever wonder by uncanny intuition we discover that you out of all the people in New Britain are the one who has kept out a particular hook due on a par- ticular date? That also is done by means of those same slips.

But since you generally keep your card with you we have to have some other way of finding out that number such and 50 18 you. So we have a hook in which are listed the numbers of all the cards with the corresponding name and address and from these the postals made out. And when you bring hack the book in pentant haste, it is ready to forth on its travels again. NEW BOOKS GERMANY IN TRANSITION Herbert Kraus.
