The University of Virginia Faculty has generously provided a package
library on this subject for debate. A package of pamphlets and
books will be sent to any principal of a high school for a term of
two weeks, free of cost, save postage, by his writing and asking Mr.
John S. Patton, University Librarian, to send a package for the use
of a certain school.
A wealth of material can be gotten from the Congressional Records,
which can be procured for a mere song.
Regulations for Package Libraries.
A package library service has been organized and will be in effect
January 15, 1916. These packages will be made up of pamphlets and
other publications containing information needed in these debates.
Package libraries are lent through the principals or superintendents
of schools.
They are lent for a period of one or two weeks, as may seem desirable,
and the loan may be renewed if renewal will not inconvenience
other borrowers.
The person to whom the package is lent is held responsible for the
return of every item in it.
The package is dispatched by parcel post or as third class mail
matter, the cheaper carriage being used. The borrower is expected
to pay the cost of transportation both ways.
All communications touching package libraries should be addressed
to John S. Patton, Librarian, University, Va.
