摘要：SINCE there could be a question of correct interpretation of the title of this paper, perhaps a clarification is necessary. The nature and pace of library work often demand more physical than mental gymnastics, and a program of calisthenics to develop muscles might be in order. However, I know you are not here to listen to a paper on physical culture, so I shall endeavor to describe to you the methods used in our own library for the promotion of staff mental development. These can be divided into four main categories: staff-meetings, morale-builders, library visits, and in-service training. First of all, staff meetings afford an opportunity for education in various ways, and if held on a monthly schedule provide a regular avenue of communication. Several plans for imparting information in this way have been experimented with in our group.
