The Municipal Council ofSydney took Possession of the library in 1909. The library evolved froma closed access, fixed shelf position library to an openaccess system in 1910. A complete retrospective conversion to the Dewey systemwas achieved by 1933. Over the years the library initiateda newspaper reading room, a juvenile collection, a children's room,an inquiry desk, a bindery, and various other features, mirroring the development of public libraries, especially in the United Statesand Great Britain. Public support for public libraries was limited until the 1930s, with public libraries being viewed as a luxury. The Free Library Movement of that time helped to solidify support for such institutions. The years following World War II brought more change with the opening of several branches in the suburbs around the city and a resultant rise in circulation. In December, 1976 catalogingand circulation were computerized, and microfiche catalogswere produced until June, 1986, when the library went to an online catalog and circulation system.
