TRAINING FOR LIBRARIANSHIP

     scattered book wagons, in themselves minia-
     ture public libraries, have been fitted up and
     sent out.  Books may be borrowed from the
     book wagons just as they would from the
     public library.  They, too, have helped to
     spread the spirit of modern Hbrarianship.
       Something has already been said of the use
     of the library building for club meetings.
     The following indicates the uses to which
     some of the branches of the New York Pub-
     lic Library were put during 1915.    The list
     of activities in all of the branches is one of the
     best commentaries on the spirit of modern
     public librarianship.
       Partial list of club and other meetings held
     in branches of the New York Public Library
     Circulation Department, 1915:
