Rural librarians cooperate in every possible way with county
superintendents of schools, teachers, county agents, health officers,
and farm bureau, grange and farmers' union officials, in order to make
known the efficacy of library service.
Short, concise, and interesting bulletins informing rural people
just what their library has and can do for them are used to advantage,
as are clear, informative annual reports showing the best possible
library service at the lowest cost with the money available.
Homelike, inviting library quarters and a friendly spirit of service
on the part of all employees are distinct assets.
Local theaters are often willing to run interesting library slides
or short films. 0
Annual celebrations are useful, such as library day, when the
library keeps open house and invites all the citizens to view its workings;
and children's book week, a special week for children.
The service that a library gives is the most effective form of
publicity.
CONCLUSION
Farm and village communities have established various successful
types of library service. A number of States have, by statute,
made possible the establishment of the best types of libraries for
farm and village people. The officials of many counties, townships,
and villages have instituted, by local financing, various successful
rural libraries. Various library agencies and librarians have been
active in assisting rural people to secure a number of successful
types of library service. The purposes of this bulletin will be
accomplished if rural people, State legislators, local officials, and
library agencies, in view of demonstrated accomplishments, cooperate
to make rural library service, as compared with other forms
of public service, equal, efficient, and complete.
