At the second Annual Conference of the Maritime Library Institute, convened at Sackville, N. :B., May 29, 1936, in the Library of Mount Allison University, it was resolved that a :Bulletin be published as the official organ of the Institute. This is a venture of faith. The issues uill perhaps be irregular for a short time, but t :ney will be published as often as funds permit. The Bulletin will reflect the interests and aims of the librarians of the Maritime Provinces of Canada, but will assume that these • interests and aims are not regional only, that librarianship is a learned profession, and that the thoughts of librarians reach towards the four corners of the earth and beyond.
