Excerpts
Page 69,
added by George.
The selection of books should be left to the librarian, under the general direction of trustees or book committee.
Page 39,
added by George.
To the librarian himself one may say: Be punctual; be attentive; help develop enthusiasm in your assistants; be neat and consistent in your manner. Be careful in your contracts; be square with your board; be concise and technical; be accurate; be courageous and self-reliant; be careful about acknowledgments; be not worshipful of your work; be careful of your health. Last of all, be yourself.
