In telling the story of this library, the author who was its deputy librarian from 1921 to 1936 and city librarian from 1936 to 1960 introduces much of the philosophy of librarianship, traces the development of the library's book selection policy and the evolution of its various procedures. For this reason The Heart of a City is more than a history of the Johannesburg public library, it also offers much of significance for all South African librarians and students of librarianship.
