Papers, 1957-8, relating to the Committee on Public Libraries in England and Wales (the Roberts Committee) deposited by T. I. Ellis in January 1959 (see Annual Report, 1958-1959, p. 53). This Committee, of which Mr Ellis was a member, was appointed by the Minister of Education in September 1957 to consider the structure of the public library service in England and Wales. The papers include Agenda, Minutes, General Papers, Evidence, Correspondence, and drafts of the Report. The ninth meeting of the Committee was held at Aberystwyth on 28 March 1958, to hear oral evidence about the public library service in Wales. Some of the written evidence submitted also relates to Wales (e.g. E9/57, 12/57, 15/57, 18/57, 37/57, 39/58 (in print), 57/58, 58/58, 59/58, 60/58 and 62/58).
