Title: New Zealand Libraries: a survey of conditions and suggestions for their improvement
Description: Christchurch, Libraries Association of New Zealand. 1934, First Edition. Soft cover. Book, viii, 68, [3] pages, colour frontispiece. Old bookplate on front endpaper. The Munn Barr report of 1934, officially titled New Zealand Libraries: a survey of conditions and suggestions for their improvement, was a seminal publication in the history of New Zealand library development. Providing a picture of the deficiencies in the country's library system and recommendations for remedying them, it is credited with setting the direction for the development of New Zealand's modern library system. The report came about following a 1932-33 trip to the United States by John Barr, the chief librarian of the Auckland Public Library, on a grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York. Good.
