Book Review: Twenty-Five Cases in Executive-Trustee Relationships in Public Libraries

Bitner, Harry
Abstract
This is the second volume in the series, the first of which was reviewed in this Journal in February 1960 by this reviewer. The original volume was received with praise and with anticipation of future volumes. The current volume has most assuredly lived up to expectations. While the cases in this volume deal with public library situations involving governing bodies, law librarians will find much that is applicable to their own circumstances. Personnel problems of hiring and firing as well as problems of book selection and censorship which are some of the matters discussed in these cases are basic to any type of library.
