Library an Institution for Public Service and Not Simply a Place for Study, Declares Ruth Reed
"A library should be viewed by the community as an institute established for the purpose of rendering a service to the public and not as a place to which students are assigned for study," says Miss Ruth Reed, head cataloger at Watson Library. "It does for the people of the community what the school does for the child. It goes on educating those people who have been out of school for some years.
"Most people think that to be a librarian all the qualifications one needs is to be interested in books and libraries in general. This is not true because there is much more to library work than the checking in and out of books."
"A librarian must have technical preparation. There are several library schools in the country, but only a few that will accept students with only a high school education. At least two years of college work is required by the majority of library schools." A B is required. Then too all students wishing to enter must take entrance examinations.
"A library school, as regarded by some, is more or less of a play school. This idea is far from right. The librarian needs to know several foreign languages, history, sociology, science and literature are a necessity. "At the library school, we teach the University of Illinois, the course is completed in two years and gives complete training in every branch of library work. The course for prospective librarians is outlined and they have but few elective subjects. Among the more technical subjects are research charging, classifying, bibliography and reference. All of these subjects are required by a student who wishes to become a

*Courses in printing and bookbinding are included in the outline. The printing course is essentially necessary and includes proof-reading and acquaints the students with the type used. It also trains the student in how to specify the covers of United States books. The binding course includes the study of bindings and foundling library books and the binding of books in general.
"Among the cultural subjects offered are book illustration and book selection. The course iR book selection is especially important in that it trains a librarian how to choose books that will be suitable for certain types of persons and communities.
"Because of this fact alone a librarian needs to have as high qualifications as a teacher and certainly must have some idea of what the public wants and needs in reading matter.
"Again I mention the fact that a librarian can not be characterized as one who 'addore books.' If I may be allowed to use a slang phrase, she must take to her work as a 'duck takes to water' and she must have a distinct quality of mind in order to enjoy it.
"Because the profession is young it is not overcrowded as is the teaching profession. Because of this fact also, the salaries suffer, but this effect, it is hoped, will be remedied in time. It must be kept in mind also that relationship was not regarded as a profession until the last few years."
“If,” said Miss Reed, “we carry out John Knox's suggestion, that is to give a child a book as a reward rather than a punishment, we could develop in the child and growing generations a desire to read and libraries would be looked upon as a source for pleasure.”

Instead, she has a swagger all her own. Her skin is rosy and it looks as if Bobby is taken for granted, as well as her wistful, "I'm so naughty" star, that comes as a matter of course.
