Abstract

First Function of the Library. The earliest libraries were, first and foremost, storehouses for books. The modern library, naturally, has still to perform the function of housing or storing of its contents, but, with the growth of the modern idea of rendering library services to the greatest number of people possible, the circulation department, or delivery room, has become of first importance in the planning of the library while the stack room has come to meet for the most part, but not entirely, the storage requirements.
