Processing books at the work room in Mitcham library c. 1960.
One of the more interesting jobs open to women during the 1960s, librarianship enabled them to achieve professional status.
Notice the range of hardback titles on the shelves. Paperback books were published in far greater numbers from 1960 onwards.
