Summary "Library Ideals" by Henry Eduard Legler is a compilation of essays focused on the evolution and impact of public libraries, reflecting on their role in fostering education and democracy, likely written in the early 20th century. The text discusses various aspects of library issues, such as their administration, extension services, and educational responsibilities, emphasizing the importance of libraries in cultivating enlightened citizenship and providing equal access to knowledge. At the start of the book, the preface introduces Henry E. Legler as a dedicated librarian and humanist whose vision for libraries was to serve the greater good of society. It highlights his belief that libraries should provide not only access to books but also educational opportunities, especially for children and the underserved communities. The opening portion outlines the pressing challenges of urban growth, the need for libraries to adapt to changing populations, and how essential it is for libraries to become active agents of social betterment through community engagement, inspiration, and provision of equal opportunities for all citizens.
