This book addresses the challenges faced by small libraries in acquiring and managing government publications. It provides insights into the selection and distribution processes of these documents, emphasizing the importance of tailoring collections to the specific needs of local communities. In this discussion, Reeder outlines various methods for small libraries to obtain government documents, such as through depository libraries and congressional quotas. He highlights specific types of publications that can be particularly beneficial, including agricultural bulletins, educational reports, and statistical data from the Bureau of the Census. The author encourages librarians to actively engage with their communities to better understand the demand for specific types of government information, which can enhance the relevance and usefulness of their collections. The work serves as both a reference and a resource for librarians looking to expand their knowledge of government publications and efficiently serve their patrons.
