The three most important values derived from this experience are the educational value, the vocational value, and the social value. The duties of the library assistants may be divided into two main classes: clerical work and mechanical work. l'nder the heading clerical work are such duties as typing, circulating books, filing, check- ing orders, and taking inventory. Me- chanical work consists of such duties as shelving books, pasting and stamping, and labeling library materials. Thus a library assistant not only helps the librar- ian, but is also given an opportunity to develop his own abilities and personality.
