Although originating in the 1850s, advocacy for rural library provision took place mainly in the 1880s and 1890s and drew on the experience of central and southern England. There were two groups of advocates. amateurs who were interested in using libraries as a means of rural regeneration and professional librarians who wanted to apply their technical expertise to the rural areas. The contribution of the amateurs was marred by a lack of technical expertise and by overenthusiastic propaganda. The professionals failed to develop a comprehensive theory of rural library provision and were indebted to the most able amateurs, F W Naylor and the Verneys.
