Letter from H. W. Parker to Theodore Roosevelt
H. W. Parker discusses public librarians’ importance and dedication to their work. Despite this, they receive low pay. Parker comments on the idea of pensioning librarians after twenty-five years of service. However, raising money has been difficult. Parker asks Theodore Roosevelt to advocate the cause to someone interested in library work, such as Andrew Carnegie.
