Inspired by Milan’s Society for Popular Libraries, it aims to grow circulating libraries, manage them, and create a central buying hub. It publishes manuals and catalogs, offers reduced-rate supplies, and plans direct book production. It also set up a federal bindery and technical advisory office. During the war, it aided soldiers by creating small in-vision libraries in collaboration with the minister of studies.
