VALUABLE BOOKS
Grant To Help Fill Gaps
(N.Z. Press Association)
WELLINGTON, Sept. 19. Works in sets of great value to' the country would be bought with the sum of £lOOO just granted to it, from Golden Kiwi lottery profits, said the Library Association’s president (Miss M. J. Clark). There were serious gaps in serial publications required by research workers in a number of scientific, technical and academic subjects. The Library Association had for some time been assembling a list of the most urgently wanted titles and was trying by various means to get them into the Dominion and into the libraries and institutions where they would be most useful. A few had been purchased co-operatively, but many of them were expensive and beyond the normal budgets of the institutions that had most need of them. The association would retain title to the works bought but would deposit them on long-term loan in suitable libraries.
