Kansas Libraries Lagging, Vosper Says
"Kansas is lagging dangerously in support of libraries," Robert Vosper, director of libraries, last night told members of Phi Delta Kappa, professional education fraternity.
Mr. Vosper spoke on "Trends and Problems in the Modern Library, an Educational Institution."
Quoting 1952 figures, he said Kansas is at least 10 years behind other states in support of libraries. Public library service is available to
only 50.7, per cent of Kansans, he added.
"Bookmobiles, common in other states, are rare in Kansas. The first county library in Kansas was proposed in Johnson county last year." Mr. Vosper said. "However, Salma and Hutchinson have good public library service."
Mr. Vosper spoke of the city library as a "people's university." He listed some of their services as providing newspapers and magazines foreign clubs, and reader's advisers.
