Public libraries in Nazi Germany

Stieg (library and information studies, U. of Alabama) examines the political influence of the Nazi party on German public libraries, as an opening to an exploration both of the nature of the Nazi movement, and to the usurpation of cultural institutions for political purposes in general. She also details the administrative organization, policies, and programs of the libraries, 1933-45. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
