CHAPTER XXVIII.
Pamphlets Save all pamphlets having to do with local history, and save also those of a general nature which promise ever to be of any importance.
In a small library, however, or in any library in which money for salaries is limited, and the work to be done in the regular matter of attending to the public, lending books, etc., is great, do not waste time in trying to arrange or catalog pamphlets.

Simply let them accumulate, arranging them roughly in classes.

Bind at once only those that seem absolutely to demand it.

In the history of almost any library the time will come when it will be possible to sort out pamphlets, arrange them properly, catalog such as are worth it, bind them singly or in groups, and incorporate them into the library.

But any system of arranging and sorting pamphlets which does anything more than very roughly to arrange and store them, and attempts to make them, without much labor, accessible to the general public, is almost sure to be a failure.
