Progressive in most things,. the. cap- ital city felt. no urge for a. public li- brary of. itg own until after the reor- ganization of the commercial club early. in 1915. This condition was largely due to the fact that Bismarck had free access to the North Dakota ‘public li9rary commission's collection. at the state house. When (. L. Youngs was elected president of the rejuven- ated commercial club in 1915, one of his first acts was to name a library committee, with J. L. Bell at the head of it. Mr. Bell as promptly. enterec into correspondence: with. the Carnegic foundation. He wrote a number of let: ters. There was little encouragement at first. The foundation suggested en- dowments entirely inadequate. The library committee refused to be dis- couraged.’ It bombarded the secre- tary-of the Carnegie foundation with facts avout Bismarck. It finally suc- ceeded in proving that Bismarck was very large for its size and would be larger, and at last. when ‘most every- one but the committee had given up hope, came advice that the Carnegie for\a public library for the capital city of the Dakotas. This news was the signal for a rath- er unique campaign for books. Every shelf inthe city was ransacked at the hehest of the Commercial club and the library committee. Patriotic members of the Commercial club devoted days to collecting these books. K. C. Battey, then finance comm{ssioner and now of | Fillings, Mont.,.and George F. Wiit, scurried about jn cold January weath: er with their cars, bringing in barrels ;and boxes and buckets filled with books, A temporary city. library was established in the Commercial club Tooms, and its formal opening on Feb- ruary 22.-1916. was a real event. Be- fore that date Mrs. M. C. Budlong, sec- retaty of the North Dakota public It- prary commission, with the aid of pub- lic-spirited | Bismarck women, had worked for weeks to catalogue and lassify the more than 2.000 volumes which citizens had contributed. The city commission made an-ap- propiration for the support of the pub- lic Mbrary, and a librarian was placec in charge. From that-date to this, even though the volumes available are not the result of scientific selection, but are almos tentirely gifts from, pri- vate libraries, this institution has been splendidly patronized and has been maintained with some degree of. effi- viency. even from the first. An election was held in the spring! of 1916 to determine whether the tax- navers desired“ to accent Carnegie’s gift and to appropriate $2,500 per an- om for the support of the library. /The Civic league, composed of public: spirited: women who were the real pi- oneers in the library movement and ho had labored for years to create a puolic sentiment in favor of it, prov- ed themselves good campaigners prior to this election. Here and there was, a man or woman who. like the well known chorus girl, said: “What's the need of a library—lI’ve got a ‘book."| but the number was very smnall, andi the library issue carried by an over- whelming majority. Plans and specifications for the’ li- s ie x BISMARCK’S H t city, commission following this ‘elec- tion: Contracts for the erection of the building were let to John 1. Lar- son.’ The building was completed in 1917, and the’ city library was trans- ferred from. the Commercial club rooms to its new quarters January 3, 1918. It had been planned: to dedicate the newlibrary on February 22.°1918, he second anniversdry of the dedica- tion of the*city’s first horary. “war conditions, however, made it impos- sible to obtain interior furnishings, which have not been available in their{ entirety untilthis late date. ‘ The library is a begutiful adaptation of the cotonial. It odcupies the corner of Thayer. and Sixth street, adjoining the city ‘hall, opposite the county! building, and: within a short distance | of the sismarck hospital, the munici- pal auditorium and the \Will school. within a radius of five blocks are both| of the city’s large hospitals, all of its} municipal, county, and:federal build ings, and its several large hotels, as well as public and parochial schovis and the Bismarck business college. The location ig central, both as.to geo- graphic and’ civic lines, and the lot, fortunately, was owned’ by the city, obviating the necessity of expending any money for a site.
