Through the biography of a remarkable man, this work traces the development of New Zealand' s national library system-- from the intervention of the Carnegie Corporation in the 1930s to the establishment of the National Library of New Zealand in the 1960s. The life of Geoffrey Alley, New Zealand' s first national librarian, is fully explored-- from his early rugby career to important material on the Alley family. A major work of public history, this record shows how the present library networks in New Zealand evolved and places such evolution in social and political contexts.
