Excerpt from Stories of Discovery: As Told by Discoverers Some years ago a convention of librarians was held in Boston. The subject of the reading most in the hands of young people was discussed, in the most practical way, by many of those persons who see, face to face, the young readers who come to Public Libraries, and who have to give to them the books they ask for. The judgment of these gentlemen and ladies, who have every opportunity of forming a true opinion, is unanimous on one point. Boys and girls, of average intelligence, can be made to take a real interest in the reading of the best books, if those books are entertaining, and if the way be made easy. But we ask too much of the librarian, who is, perhaps, overseeing the delivery of one book every ten seconds, if we expect him to do everything in guiding the taste of the young readers who apply for another book, interesting and new.
