The Library Movement in British Columbia

Authors

  • J. Forsyth

Abstract

"In reviewing the earliest library movement in British Columbia one must cast his mind back to the days when the western portion of British North America was little more than a huge fur reserve, and the only contact with civilization was through the fur trading posts scattered at great distances throughout this vast territory. The Hudson's Bay Company had so-called libraries at all their district offices, the size of the library depending largely on the situation of these small communities."
