Plans For Improved Library Service
The study by Dr. Lowell A. Martin calls for a five year plan to promote and demonstrate library services in Pennsylvania. It proposes a $200,000 first year appropriation for promotion, book mobiles, children's librarians, and adult reference demonstrations, plus federal matching funds for rural development. It outlines local paths to establish service, from county libraries to district centers, and stresses state coordination, expanded collections, staff, and training.
