Full Significance of Reading Room Work Brought into Focus
The report of the Reading Room Workshop meeting at Annual Meeting time has had a vitalizing effect in our Reading Room.
The yearly meeting of our librarians was called for the end of June. In making the announcement to the staff, I found the reaction seemed to be that there was little need for a meeting because everything was going along splendidly. It seemed very difficult to bring inspiration to the thought of the meeting and, in fact, to find the right citations with which to open the meeting.
The inspiration seemed at its lowest when I received the Workshop report. I read the opening citations and loved the thought of freedom expressed there. Then the opening remarks, the letters from the Board of Directors and the Board of Trustees, as well as the individual addresses, seemed to envelop me in the magnitude of the work; I was no longer concerned with one small Reading Room and its problems, but a globe-encircling expression of a universal movement. The whole report was so inspiring that I decided to use it as the basis of our meeting. Of course the full report would have taken too long, but I picked out some of the statements which would be of particular interest to us.
