Summary "The Library and Society: Reprints of Papers and Addresses" by Arthur E. Bostwick is a historical collection of essays and addresses published in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the evolution and societal role of libraries in America, featuring contributions from notable individuals who discuss the importance of libraries as community resources. The collection emphasizes the shifting dynamics of libraries and their reciprocal relationship with the communities they serve. The beginning of this work introduces the preface, where Bostwick articulates the intent behind the collection: to highlight early ideas that have since influenced modern library practices. He sets up a framework for understanding how libraries have transformed from private collections to public institutions vital for community engagement and education. The opening portion foreshadows discussions on libraries serving as not only repositories of books but as essential centers for public discourse, cultural enrichment, and the promotion of literacy and learning within diverse communities. Bostwick hints at the historical significance of different library models, emphasizing the universal need for accessible literature and information. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
