"...it is the duty of the public library to cooperate with the school
in its endeavor to awaken in the citizen-to-be an inspiration to make
the most of his powers...Apart from its connection with the school,
its chief function is to serve as the lifelong university for the
individual, in which he may find freely, without money and without
price, an opportunity for the continuous development of all his
powers."...
