| Summary | "Papers and Proceedings of the Twenty-Third General Meeting of the American Library Association" is a scientific publication from the early 20th century. This compilation includes proceedings and addresses given during a key meeting of American librarians, discussing various aspects of library management, development, and the role of libraries in society. The document emphasizes collaboration between libraries and other institutions, exploring how to enhance access to literature for the public. The opening of this work sets the stage for a detailed exploration of librarianship, initiated by an address from Henry J. Carr, the President of the American Library Association. Carr reflects on the history and importance of the organization, highlighting its growth and the commitment of its members over a quarter-century. He introduces the theme of librarianship as a profession that not only manages literature but also plays a crucial role in the educational and cultural fabric of society. The first few contributions in the proceedings address what cities, states, and the nation can do to support libraries, emphasizing the need for adequate funding, community involvement, and institutional collaboration.
