Abstract

WE must congratulate Mr. Filon on his promotion to the post of Director of the National Central Library. He will bring many years of practical experience to his job, and there is every reason to expect that the National Central Library will indeed flourish during the very important years ahead. It will not be long before the N.C.L. will be moving with Chaucer House to a new site. (Perhaps the Library Association Council will tell us where before long.) This new appointment has made me wonder what the N.C.L. is for. How long is it since anyone thought whether the N.C.L. is desirable? Every year we pay our subscriptions, which are modest enough, and every year we lend and borrow—and how long it takes—but that is hardly the N.C.L's fault.
