Co-operative Law Library.

An Interesting experiment In library co-operation Is being worked out. in the Long Beach public library, Long Beach, Cal. Forty or 50 attorneys of the city of Long Beach have sent law books from their private libraries to the public library for the purpose of forming a co-operative laws library. Those contributing books in this, way., are entitled to take books from the cooperative library, keeping thto ftw a period of five days, and the general ■public Is allowed to consult the books at the library. The books are marked; "Loaned to the Long Beach Public Library.” Some of the attorney* , joining in the plan have each contributed as many as 800 books to the -co-opern-tlve law library. It would seem'that this idea might be worked out ouoeess fuHyln other lines of endear or, 1 thus making the resources found 4n books available to the largest possible number of people.
