The Library World Volume 62 Issue 9

NEWS of the next Anglo‐Scandinavian Library Conference to be held in Denmark from Sept. 28th to Oct. 1st, 1961, has just reached us, though at the time of writing we have no details of the precise venue or of the programme. As many of our readers will remember, the first of these Conferences took place at Halmstad in Sweden in 1953, and another was held at York in 1958. We can be certain that our Danish colleagues will this year prepare an interesting programme in the conference hall, and will supplement it by visits to some of their newer libraries. In this respect they have much to show, for in addition to the impressive main library of the Copenhagen city system, and the delightful library at Hørsholm, both of which have been seen by touring librarians from Britain, we have news of even more recent buildings at Horsens, Køge, Møn and other places. The new State Library at the University of Aarhus, now in course of erection, may not be finished at the time of the Conference, but it would still be worth visiting, even if it is not included in the official programme. Danish hospitality is world‐famous, and those British librarians who can afford to make the trip will find it rewarding in every way.
