{"value"=>"<p>Series consists mostly of correspondence with persons who were not employees of The New York Public Library. Most of the correspondence is with publishers, potential donors, and other librarians. The primary topics of these letters are employment, donation of books or materials to the NYPL, financial contributions to the NYPL, and press coverage of library activities. Much of the correspondence in these files was addressed to or answered by Paul Rice North, Chief of the Reference Department. There are also internal memos and other documents relating to this external correspondence. Incoming and outgoing letters are arranged in alphabetical order by subject or by the name of the correspondent. However, only the files between \"tib\" and \"zy\" are extent. In addition, there is one folder of unsorted complaint letters that criticize library policies and services.</p>"}
