Which committees were appointed to look into the working of the Public Libraries in England ?
(i) Adams Committee
(ii) Mitchell Committee
(iii) Barry Committee
(iv) Tilden Committee
Answer: B
The committees are (i) and (ii): the Adams and Mitchell committees.
Both reports were made for the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust on public libraries in Britain: the Adams Report (1915) by W.G.S. Adams surveyed library provision, and the Mitchell Report (1924) by J.M. Mitchell reviewed public libraries after the Public Libraries Act of 1919. Later inquiries include the Kenyon Committee (1927) and the Roberts Committee (1959).
'Barry Committee' and 'Tilden Committee' are not inquiries into English public libraries; Tilden is the name of a founding trust of the New York Public Library. So every option including (iii) or (iv) is wrong.
