The Reorganization Act of 1922 transferred the duties of the Mary-
land Public Library Commission to the State Superintendent of Schools
and created the Maryland Public Library Advisory Commission. The
Governor appoints five members of this Commission, two of whom shall
be women. The first appointees hold office until the first Monday in
May, 1924, and thereafter for a term of two years from the first Mon-
day in May. These five members, together with the State Librarian
and the Librarian of the Enoch Pratt Free Library, constitute the Com-
mission.

It shall be the duty of the Commission, from time to time, to advise,
counsel and aid the State Superintendent of Schools with respect to the
performance of duties relating to the work of the public libraries of the
State.
