WAR AND LIBRARY WORK
I IL war has brought recognition of the importance and value of libraries, librarians being
among the first summoned for national service, to organize and administcr camp libraries,
to assemble books for soldiers evervwher, and to push patriotic education through the
regular work in local libraries.
The call for trained librarians far exceeds the supply. Education for librarianship affords a
special knowledge of classification, indexing, cataloging, fiing, and the care of records that is in
great demand by the national government. Nine graduates of the Wisconsin Library School
are already in federal positions, and more arc wanted. The call from libraries all over the country
for workers trained in Wisconsin gives a wide range of choice in accepting a position, both for
location and phase of work.
