University of Virginia Library

Section C. Library Science.

The most effective collection of library science materials
in Virginia is at the College of William and Mary, in connection
with the training school for teacher librarians. This consists
of about 800 volumes in library science itself, supplemented
by 3,900 volumes specially selected from other subjects

as being best fitted as library material for the different
school grades. Other useful collections, smaller in extent,
are at the Hampton Institute, for the service of its Library
School for Negroes, and at the University of Virginia in connection
with its summer quarter courses for high school librarians.
The State Library also has considerable material on this subject;
and the same is true of the four State Teachers Colleges, the
Virginia Military Institute, and the Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
