Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Free Libraries and Newsrooms: Their Formation and Management is a book written by John Davis Mullins and originally published in 1869. The book is a comprehensive guide to the establishment and management of free libraries and newsrooms, which were becoming increasingly popular in the mid-19th century as a means of providing access to information and education to the working classes.The book covers a wide range of topics related to the formation and management of these institutions, including the legal and financial aspects of setting up a free library or newsroom, the selection and acquisition of books and other materials, the organization and administration of the library or newsroom, and the role of the librarian or newsroom manager.Mullins also discusses the social and cultural significance of free libraries and newsrooms, arguing that they have the potential to promote literacy, intellectual curiosity, and social cohesion among the working classes. He also provides examples of successful libraries and newsrooms from around the world, including the United States, Canada, and Europe.Overall, Free Libraries and Newsrooms: Their Formation and Management is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of libraries and newsrooms, as well as for those involved in the establishment and management of these institutions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
