CATHOLICS AND THE PUBLIC LIBRARIES

A SUGGESTED BOOK LIST Some time ago the Dunedin Diocesan Council of the Catholic Federation set up a Literature Committee, consisting of the Very Rev. Dean Burke, Rev. Father Liston, Miss Callan, and Mr. J. A. Scott, M.A., with the commission— amongst other things—to draw up a list of books which might be suitably recommended by Catholics as worthy of a place on the shelves of the public libraries and subscription libraries within the diocese. The list does not profess to be by any means exhaustive; but it is hoped that it may at least serve as the basis of a complete and practically useful list, and necessary additions will be made by the Literature Committee from time to time. One of the principles adopted by the Committee was that no book should be included which could not he recommended on the actual personal knowledge and acquaintance of at least one member of the Committee. The list, which was submitted to a meeting of the Diocesan Council on January 23, was unanimously adopted ; and an expression of thanks to the Committee was recorded for the valuable service it had rendered in carrying out this important work. The list is printed herewith ; and copies will be supplied from the Tablet office at a nominal price to other branches o/ the Federation History. Name. Author.
