CARNEGIE LIBRARIES
NO FURTHER GRANTS FOR BUILDING PROJECTS
The following letter has been received by Mr. E. J. Bell, librarian of the Canterbury Public Library, Christchurch, from the Carnegie Corporation, New York: — “In reply to your letter of April 5, permit me to say that we have gradually been working out a programme of activity in Australia and New Zealand in so far as our limited resources for expenditure outside the United States permit, and have been unable to include assistance to public libraries, but have made arrangements to distribute collections of leading American books in education and psychology to libraries other than those of educational institutions. We do not epntemplate making appropriations for building projects. Neither have we found it possible to offer assistance for establishing libraries or for developing the stock of books in public libraries or in libraries other than those of" educational institutions.— -Sincerely Yours, (Sgd.) Robert M. Lester, assistant to the president.” This should , convey to library committees in New Zealand that it is useless applying for grants to the Carnegie Corporation.
