Kenneth Binns
succeeded Arthur Wadsworth as Parliamentary Librarian when the Library
moved to Canberra. In 1928, on the eve of the Great Depression, he had
a staff of 12 and two typewriters with which to serve the needs of Commonwealth
parliamentarians, 7000 Canberra citizens and the occasional interstate
visitor.

With the
move to Canberra the need to support politicians and staff increased.
At the same time the National Library's collection had been steadily growing
and problems of collection storage space continued to afflict the Library.
The Commonwealth
Parliamentary Library was positioned in a central location off Kings Hall.
