Description: A poetic evocation of the American free public library system. Filmed largely at Montclair Library in Montclair New Jersey, it shows the varied users of the library service and how library staff assist in meeting their needs. It has no commentary, relying on a musical soundtrack and the actions shown to depict the libraries work. It's a liberal portrait showing a multi-racial clientele for the library and two users reaching for the copy of the newly published novel of the African-American experience 'Native Son' by Richard Wright.
