Discussion
Which of the following are common extension activities in Libraries ?
(i) Book mobile services to rural areas
(ii) Hosting book clubs and reading groups
(iii) Book weeding in libraries
(iv) Providing access to online databases and e-resources
Answer: B
The answer is (i), (ii) (iv) are correct.
Extension activities carry the library's services beyond its walls and to people who do not otherwise use it: mobile library (book mobile) services to rural areas, book clubs and reading groups, and access to online databases and e-resources for remote users.
Weeding is the withdrawal of old, damaged or unused books from the collection. It is a routine collection-maintenance task inside the library, not an extension service, so options containing (iii) are wrong.
