Abstract

The Queensland Bush Book Club was already twelve years old when Ralph Munn and Ernest Pitt conducted their famous survey of Australian libraries in 1934. The questionnaires they sent out in advance of their travels were often returned with a personal plea to the Carnegie Corporation for funding. Other letters tucked into the survey forms might describe the local library’s sorry condition, express the town’s interest in a free public library or extend an invitation to Munn and Pitt to visit.
