It begins by outlining the rationale and methodology associated with building community support and interest in a public library, including drafting a compelling petition for a public vote. The guide then provides a detailed overview of the Delaware Public Library Law of 1903, explaining its implications and provisions for funding and managing a library. The book offers guidance on selecting and classifying books, discussing the Library of Congress cataloguing and classification systems. Practical advice is given on managing library circulation with borrower cards and book cards, and even provides guidance on creating and using a simple registration book. The guide emphasizes the importance of free libraries as permanent and dynamic assets for communities, encouraging investment in annual additions of new books to reflect the evolving interests of readers. To that end, it provides a comprehensive review of library supplies essential for effective management, including accession books, registration books, book stamps, book pockets, book cards, borrower cards, and catalogue cards.
