Journal of the Minnesota Library Association, North Country Librarian, Fall-Winter 1974

Volume 2, number 2 of The North Country Librarian was published in the fall-winter of 1974. The issue includes articles on MLA endorsed library legislation, MLA conference updates from the sections and committees, a directory of 1975 MLA officers and committees, an editorial critiquing the 1974 MLA annual conference, a summary of the MLA ombudsman activity, a 1974 transcript of a presentation to the Citizens League, announcement of the Midwest Federation of Library Associations conference, the Mildred L. Batchelder Award, an update from the Office of Public Libraries and Interlibrary Cooperation (OPLIC), addition of a new Minnesota book collection to the Governor's library, and a list of upcoming continuing education opportunities. The North Country Librarian (formerly known as the Lakeland Libarian) is the official newsletter of the Minnesota Library Association (MLA). Following a backlash over the intentional misspelling of the word "librarian" in the previous title, a contest was held to rename the publication and in the spring of 1973 the Lakeland Libarian became the North Country Librarian.
