Library reform bill aims at state wide library control
A proposed bill, funded by Senator Fleming, would reorganize state library interests. It would create a five member governor appointed board with the state librarian, state organizer of libraries, director of a state library school, and superintendent of public instruction, to oversee the State library and public library commission. Traveling libraries would transfer to the board, and institutional libraries would be coordinated with state institutions for dependents. The measure also contemplates a one year library instruction program.
