Many of the communities throughout Illinois have organized public li braries to furnish them with the best literature and with such Information as may be needed from time to time by the public and by the local offi cials. These libraries are doing splendid work, but they are sometimes hampered by the lack of such books and 'other resources' as only the large library can supply. The library of the University of Illinois Is In a position to support the efforts of these smaller libraries and Is do ing so to a very considerable extent One of.

its important features Is reference department, which receives and answers Inquiries sent in from points over the state.

In the past year ma terial relating to music, literature, travel, biography, government, educa tion and many other subjects has been sent In response to these Inquiries. Another means by which the Uni versity library extends its facilities to other libraries in the state is the actual loan of books.

Calls frequently come from public libraries and from high schools and colleges for volumes which needed In the community temporarily. Books so requested are sent according to what is known as an "Inter-library loan" system, the desired items being charged and mailed under rules cover ing the matter. In addition to these services for individual libraries and institutions the University library issues from time to time printed lists of other material, which are designed to help the librarian in selecting and obtaining various types of literature. Notable publications of this nature al ready Issued relate to American and foreign fiction, to Illinois official pub lications and to books of Jewish in terest. Upon request these publications are sent to the libraries of the state and to any others who may de sire them.

The University library Invites cor respondence with such citizens and such, public and high school libraries of Illinois as wish to avail themselves of Its facilities. University Bulletin. MARRIED Whitehead-Jensen. Mr. G.
