Oct. 2008.
This article discusses a conference that took place in Chicago with the American Library Association and the International Federation of Library Associations. The document mentions a library service survey, prison libraries, book circulation and how librarians have impacted communities through their activities.
“Librarians in Chicago” is not very long, but contains useful information about the interests and activities of librarians during this time in history. There are various comments that show the image of librarians during the 1930s, such as how the attendees “tiptoed” around the conference, that “librarians like to guide the young in reading,” and that they “scanned with interest a space-saving bound volume of the New York Times.” This is a very useful source for discovering librarians’ interests and images for this time period.
