Every English town (and many large villages too) has a public library.The chief librarian has the important task of deciding in which way to spend the money that is allocated(分配) to him by the council.He buys the books.So he must know the community(社区,团体) he lives in,and which books the people there want and need most.A public library in a remote agricultural area,for example,would not have very much demand for a book on the problem of air pollution in large cities.However,people in the area may be studying any subject under the sun,and these students are often quite dependent on the services of their public library.Librarians are usually asked to advise on the design of new library buildings; so modern libraries are far more sensibly planned than those built last century.As libraries are open such long hours,the librarian’s working timetable may be very different from that of his friends,and he may have a free time during the day to compensate(补偿) for the evenings when he has to work.But,having such an important position in the cultural life of his community,he can never grumble that his job is boring or unimportant.
