Description
This article was first published in the very informative and well edited (by Victoria Anderson) State Library of New South Wales Public Library News in March and July 2004. In view of the looming 50th anniversary of the founding of the Free Library Movement, and the light it throws on the role of the influential layperson, the editor sought permission to reproduce it here. Today every citizen in New South Wales has access to public library services through a sophisticated network, a partnership between local and State Government. Free public libraries are so much part of our lives, from pre-school days until our retirement years that it may seem that they have always been there. In fact, free public libraries in New South Wales only began to operate in any numbers after the end of World War II--not even sixty years ago.
