THE LIBRARY
pUSTRIBUTED with this issue of the Journal is a new edition of the Library catalogue, last printed in 1948. It is hoped the catalogue will prove of value to members for reference, and at the same time serve to remind those who may have forgotten, or others who may not have heard of the Library, that a very useful collection of books and periodicals relating to kinematography and allied subjects is available at the Society's headquarters. Attention is specially directed to the fact that books may be borrowed by post as well as by personal request at the Library.
There are about 150 volumes listed in the catalogue which have been published since the war, and it is claimed, with justification, that the Library is reasonably comprehensive. Nevertheless there is room for improvement, and the extent to which this can be achieved depends largely upon the interest shown by
members in the Library's existence. If the demand is there, facilities, within reason, will be adjusted to meet it.
For example, arrangements are being considered whereby periodicals, other than those immediately current can be loaned in the same manner as books ; at present a Library rule precludes this. Further, an agreement with the Royal Photographic Society now enables members of the B.K.S. to borrow volumes from the extensive library of that Society in return for a similar privilege in respect of members of the R.P.S. and our own Library.
Suggestions for improving Library facilities for members are welcomed by the Library Committee, and will be given sympathetic consideration.
G. J. Craig, Chairman, Library Committee.
