Library Work with Children
Classics of American Librarianship Edited by ARTHUR E.
BOSTWICK, Ph.D.

LIBRARY WORK WITH CHILDREN
REPRINTS OF PAPERS AND ADDRESSES
SELECTED AND ANNOTATED BY ALICE I. HAZELTINE
Supervisor of Children's Public Library St. Louis, Mo.

PREFACE
This second volume in the series of Classics of American Librarianship
is devoted to library work with children. As stated in the preface to the
first volume, on "Library and school," the papers chosen are primarily
of historic rather than of present-day value, although many of them
embody principles which govern the practice of today. They have been
grouped under general headings in order to bring more closely together
material relating to the same or to similar subjects. Several different
phases of children's work are thus represented, although no attempt has
been made to make the collection comprehensive.
Book-selection for children has not been included except incidentally,
since it is expected that this subject will be treated in another volume as

part of the general subject of book-selection. In the same way, material
on training for library work with children has been reserved for a
volume on library training.
The present volume is an attempt to bring together in accessible form
papers representing the growth and tendencies of forty years of library
work with children. ALICE I. HAZELTINE.
