Notes by the way on Free Libraries and Books, With a Plea for the Establishment of Rate-supported Libraries in the Province of Ontario

By John Hallam

"Notes by the Way on Free Libraries and Books" by John Hallam makes a compelling case for the establishment of rate-supported libraries in the province of Ontario. This work highlights the importance of accessible education and the pivotal role that libraries play in community enrichment and lifelong learning. Hallam's plea serves as both a historical snapshot of library advocacy and a continuing inspiration for the support and expansion of public library systems. Advocating for community-funded libraries, this book champions the idea that access to books and information is vital for social progress and the intellectual growth of individuals. This edition ensures that Hallam's important message remains available to a new generation of library enthusiasts, historians, and policymakers.
