Excerpt from Library Notes, 1936-1946: A Bulletin Issued for the Friends of Duke University Library Duke University Library is endeavoring to meet this situation in three ways. In the first place, it is increasing its book resources as rapidly as budget funds make possible, and is inviting friends of educa tion and of the South to assist in this im portant development. In the second place, it makes its books available to serious readers anywhere in the South, the loans usually being made through local libraries. Last year 1071 volumes were loaned in this way. In the third place, it is cooperating with the University of North Carolina Li braty which is only twelve miles distant, in a free exchange of books and in the joint development of certain fields.
