LIBRARY BULDING [SWISS CLAI: CLUF TOROSS TRAPPIG Former Student Said to Have | PROGRAM IS URGED T. W. Noyes Calls for Action by Coming Session of Congress in" Report. Action in the five-year building and extension program at the coming s2s- sion of Congress was urged upon the Distriet Commissioners yesterday in the annual repori of the board of trustees of the Public Library, Jaid before them by Theadore W. Noyes, editor of The Evening Star and president of the Library trustees, “The Library trustees believe that the Public Library is now on a sound basi: in law and faet,” the report said. “It serves well the part of the community who are able to uss the resources of the Central Library, three branches and three sub-branches. But thase agen- cies can conveniently serve only about one-third of the District’s population. ‘The great need nmow is to be able to make full Library resources and service efectively available to the other two- thirds of the population. To that end the Library trustees, representing the library interests and needs of the com- | munity, urgently request the aid of the Distriet Commissioners, the Budget Bu- | Teau and Congress.” New Sub-branches. The estimates of the board of trus- | tees for 1930, it was revealed in the re ort of Dr. George F. Bowerman, the | ibrarian, also submitted, totaled $547,- 30. During the year Chevy Chase, Tenleytown and the neighborhood of the Eastern High 8chool received | Library sub-branches, the trustees' re- | port said, and funds were appropriated | for a sub-branch for the Condult road | section, | Pointing to the growth of the service, | the report said that the home circula- tion of books has increased from 1,407,- | 400 to 1,578,432, the registration of bor- Towers 68,777 to 73,602, and the reference and advisory services have developed both in quality and quantity. ‘The report called attention to the point u;ln ‘enom tum l;::lur)a‘ are now avail- able ory, biography, sociology and pedagogy, Washingtoniana, technology, illustration and children’s literature, as well as trained assistants for the more general flelds. During the past fiscal year, Dr, Bow- erman said in his report, the library collected as fines, fees, etc., $19,561.66, turning this sum over to the Collector of Taxes for the District for deposit in the Treasury. These collections, he ;:td. are likely to exceed $20,000 for “The increase in book circulation and the satisfaction manifested by these communities,” the trustees wi’m out, citing cmvg Chase, Tenleytown, the Eastern High School and Conduit road areas, “furnish a convineing demenstra- tion of the validity of the branch idea, and stimulate the library authoritles in the endeavor to B:vvlds all sections of wnml;h.‘_t_nl\ wi easily accessible Referring to branch dowlo&mmt Dr. Bowerman saya:. “The Eastern High School subbranch made a fine record of service. well justifying the plan of mvldlil‘ Eubl library service in school buil . The Chevy Chase sub- branch likewise amply justifies its re- moval to fine new ren ers, School subbranch will occupy the old frame schoolhouse as soon as it is released by the Board of Education. “Development Slow." *“The development of the library sys- fem, however, is too .slow. No branches have been added. It is safe to l:{’" Dr. Bowerman sayé, “that for twos thirds of the population of the District the Public Library has no effective ex- istence.” In the matter of branch library pro- vision, lmim' to the librarian's re- g:n. ‘Wi gton stands next to the ttom of the list in comparison with 37 other cities.

The book eirculation inereased 12 per cent, and the picture circulation increased 11 per cent as compared with the previous year." Advisery Service. A growing service in the library, which has added greatly to its useful- ness and efficiency, is that of the read- ers’ advisers, ‘The specially treined group of assistants stand ready to help Teaders either in their serious work or | in general reading along lines which particularly interest them, and in mak- ing up book lists in their special field. The advisory staff consists of an ad- viser in educational books, one in art books, in Mamfhy, in fiction, in chil- dren's reading, in technical books, be- sides several general research workers. | The number of questions recorded in | the reference room of the central li- brary for the past year was 9,235, in- cluding 1,105 telephone calls “The industrial division of this de- partment,” said Dr. Bowerman, “has just closed one of its most successful Vears. The circulation of books and magazines from this division was 39,750, | or an increase of 10.5 per cent over last year.” ‘The industrial division has become 50 crowded that an adjoining room has been equipped as a staff office, thus giving more space in the main divisioa. The opening of the three subbranches #aw the simultaneous opening of three new children's rooms. These three wubbranches alone circulated 41,970 | children’s books out of a total juvenile circulation of 821,199 volumes. The hooks were distributed through seven | children’s rooms and the schools di- ‘viston. “The circulation,” according to the veport, “has back of it advisory assis:- ance to parents and children, careful book selection and reference work." The fine arts division has increased in usefulness each year, “Public school teachers use the picture collection to supplement other lesson helps. Teach- ers and students of art schools often exhaust the fine and decorative art subjects,” according ' to the report. “Modern art books and pictures un }):nod design, color decoration and re- ated subjects are in active circulaticn for practical use in every day meaus of livelihood. Music teachers utilice pictures for interpretive lessons, Other groups using the collection gre the Americanization School, the " depart- ment of visual education of the public schools and Sunday school groups.” Book Collection. Referring to the book collection, Dr. Bowerman said that “it received an ad: dition of 23,012 books purchased and 2,358 gifts.

Police of this canton have rcported also some additional eircumstances. The newspapers added that it was Traversa who drove the automobile in which the general and his woman companign went to Campione. Later Traversa returned to Rossi's hotel here and toek his Baggage into Italy. In all this he was alded, it was said, by a man of the name of Filipenni, who was an Italian agent as well as an old-time friend of Rossi. The newspapers said that pretended revival of this frienaship was what caused the general to fall so easily into the trap. Filipenni invited Rossi to come to Lugano in the first place, say- ing that he wished the general to get him a passport so he could enter Switzerland. works of fiction from the Library of Congress; and 920 volumes from The Eveni Star.” The lbrnrfz took part in various ex- positions held in the city during the year, such as the Better Homes EX- hibit and the Industrial Exhibit, Be- lieving that often the resources of a collection of books can best be shown ing the books on a special sub- Ject to the persons most interested, the library had an exhibit of art books at the Arts Club, educational books were taken to child welfare councils, and collections of children’s books to par- ent-teacher associations.

Dr, Bowerman said, “the estimates were designed to strengthen the service of existing organizations, to provide library services at four more sub-branches in school buildings and at one more sub-branch in rented quarters, to purchase four new sites for branch libraries, and pravide plans and specifications for them, the sites and $10,000 for the rental of overflow quar- a:“ in th hborhood of the main central building is acute and must be | relieved in the very near future.

Presumably for July 1, 1920, it will be 564,000, On that basis, if the entire sum of 617,230 as above were to be ap- propriated for the fiscal year 1929-1930, that would be but $1.09 per capita. Ex- cluding the items of $112,000 for sites and plans, the total of $505,230 for | maintenance represents but 89.5 cents minimum of $1 per capita set up by the American Library Association for mu- .nicipal public library maintenance. Compare it with the Y tenance figures of certain other cities as shown by the latest comparative table for 1926-27, such as Cleveland, $1.54; Boston, $1.26, and Indlanapolis, $1.01. In that table Washington's maintenance was but 549 cents per capita. In the matter of maintenance provisions for its ublic library Washington stood twenty« hird in this list of 37 cities having over 200,000 population.” . SERVICES FOR UNKNOWN.
