As evidence of the growing impor- tance of the library service to the community, the trustees call atten- tion to the circulation of 1,136,220 books during the last fiscal year. The trustees also reported 19.470 readers registered during the year. In ad- dition to books, the library had a circulation of 99,259 mounted pictures. The demand for information from the reference and advisory services likewise is on the increase, the trus- tees reported. These requests for in- formation cover the field of general literature and technical subjécts, books for children and illustrative erial from the picture division. Service to Chilare The circulation of children's books has increased 115 per cent in the past five years. Following is a summar: of the report of the board of trustees, of which Theodore W. dent, and of the librarian, ¥. Bowerman : The gift of the Carnegie Noyes is presi- Dr. George econd $100,000 from Corporation for the Mount Pleasant building will make ble an adequate building for that densely populated and rapidly grow- ing community. The trustees state as a most urgent need of the library a ficiency appropriation with w operate the branch when it pleted shortly after January 1. though the library estimates for the current fiscal year as approved by the Budget Bureau contained items for staff and maintenance for the half year and something for books, no funds were appropriated in the 1925 act. It is stated that at least,50,000 volumes will be needed. Branches in Schools. The trustees urge upon the Com- oners the necessity that provi- sion be secured promptly to conduct several public library branches in public school buildings, an economical method of extending library facilities which has long had the approval of the Board of Education, the Board of Library Trustees and the Commis- sioners. The trustees compare the 34 cents per capita expended for the District of Columbia Library with $1.00 per capita established by the American Library Association as_the minimum with which a good buf not the best library service may be secured. They point out that Washington lags be- hind other American cities in this regard. Cleveland, Ohio, spends $1.27; Boston, Mass., $1.20; Brookline, Mass,, $1.48; Newton, Mass, $L! Ind, $1.13; Pasedena, Calif. $1.16, and Mason City, Towa, $1.00. Among cities above 200,000 population several are now spending approach- ing $1.00 per capita on their public libraries, Including Minneapolis, 89 cents; Providence, 89 cents; Indian- 7 cents, and Seattle, SO cents. trustees state that the im- portance of having a model public library system in Washington is not only obvious to Washingtonians, but has also received formal recognition during the past year through resolu- tions passed by two national bodies— the National Education Association through its library department on July 1, 1924, and the American Library Association through its council Jupe 30, 1924. Want Model System Here. In the resolutions the American Li- brary Association urges “the inau- guration of plans that will develop in the Capital of the nation a public library system that will exemplify the best American methods and stan- dards of library administration.” The National Education Association urges the development of plans that will result in building up in the Capital of the nation a public library system embodying the most approved re- sources and service, the most effective relations with the public schools of the District and the best American methods of library administration.” An important advance was regis- tered, according to the report, by the inauguration of a graded and ap- propriately ~ compensated service through the operation of the classi- fication act. Out of 97 positions, €8 were allocated in accordance with the recommendations of the board of trustees. It is expected that the bet- ter salary schedule will reduce the excessive turnover of staff which last vear amounted to 34 resignations, or one-third of the staff. The librarian, Dr. Bowerman, points out in his report, which forms part of the report of the trustees, that tke library works under se-ious hardi- car g, owing to the failure to sccure adequate appropriations. “Estimate proposals,” he writes, “for an increase n the staff of the present organiza- tion, needed to discontinue closing the lbrary every Wednesday at 3 p.m., to stop the using for employing as- sistants of fine money, which should be spent in the purchase of books to catch up with the pressing demands made upon the library and to meet the added burdens that new branches will throw on the main organization —these proposals were met with an appropriation for three new assistants only, an altogether insufficient num- ber. Requests for increased appro- priations for books were entirely de- nied, as were those for maintenance, in_the face of the fact that the library lacks typewriters, filling cases, desks, chairs and much - other necessary equipment and that the library has been forced to discontinue the pub- lication of a monthly bulletin of new accessions and is compelled to go without many ‘other things that are essential to good service. Advisory Work Increasing. “Advisory work is constantly in- creasing along educational and rec- reational lines,” the librarian points out. “Larger enrollments at schools and colleges and the increased num- ber of Government clerks who are OIL BURNER - For Household Use {on ‘certain subjects for the! THE EVEN taking special university and corre- spondence courses heavily tax the in- formational as well as the routine services of the department during the busy Winter season. “The demand for debating material has grown rapidly. Requests have come not only from high school pupils, but from college and university stu- dents, and have been chiefly on topics of the day. Students from American, Georgetown and George Washington universities come daily, in large num- bers, for material to use for special courses. History and literature were the two most popular subjects and were closely followed by American government and politics, studied by young men preparing to enter the diplomatic service. A majority of the students are working for degree they exhaust the library's resour these: credits n assigned topics for the largest number of ref- erences they can obtain from books. “Teachers form another large cla: of library users. They secure bo not oniy for classroom use, but for supplementary courses of study. The subjects most in demand by them are the constantly changing theories in education, such as classroom man- agement, the project method of teaching, psychology, silent reading, supervised study, et Officials Use Service. “Officials of Government ments request material for i and recreational use They make frequent use of the telephone or send written requests. A decided chang in the reading of Government cler has been observed. An increasing number are taking up special courses of study. A noteworthy feature rent reading of book review by the general public, and many reserves and recommendations are left for| bool not yet published.
