"Films can also be used to show to the public the different aspects of library service; and to assist in guidance. For example, the Canadian Library Association's film THE LIBRARIAN may be shown, which is designed to interest young people in professional library work and library education. [...] A demonstration of how to use the film was given by Miss Betty Gallanders of the Public Relations Department of the Vancouver Public Library, and well known on Canadian television for her program HIDDEN PAGES. Miss Gallander pointed out that the film is basic to the Association's five-year recruitment campaign, and was designed for an audience of university students, or students in the final grades of high school, to interest them in library work as a profession."
