LIBRARIES HELP | i | ng Question Is Dis- cussed at a Meeting of Experts in New York City NEVADA CITY HAS A SITE| Virginia Follows Example; Set by California—Marked Advance by Cedar Rapids The oft raised question, “Do public libraries help or hinder the sale of books?” was discussed at a late meet- ing of the Booksellers’ League of New York City. Fifteen leading librarians of the country gave their opinions, which were practically unanimous. ¥t was shown that the libraries of the country yearly purchase an im- mense number of books, that libraries are great educators of readers and that any institution which is constantly bringing books to the attention of peo- ple must increase the sales. Many per- sons first notice certain volumes at a library. Librarians are frequently con- sulted concerning the choice of works of literature, art, history and sclence by those who buy for their own use | and for presents to friends, especially | at Christmas time. No opposing evi- . dence jvas given from booksellers; on the cofitrary, a leading bookseller was quoted as saying that “the public library helped him sell books.” ¥ ISSUES A PAMPHLET. State Librarian Gillis has issued an interesting pamphlet of 134 pages en- titled “Libraries of California.” The description embraces the sixty-five public circulating libraries which are suppdrted by taxation, the fifty mem- bership, technical and college libraries in the State, besides a full account of the different departments of the State | Library. A score of beautiful illustra- tions of buildings give pleasing evi- hdence of the growth of library interest in California. The monograph was pryg- pared specia for use in the State Library display at the St. Louis Ex- sitio Nevada Ci Carnegie $10 land owned pe obtains a site for its 309 building by purchase of by the county.

San Jose Public Library is to re-' ceive the gift of an oil pal of Gen- eral U. S. Grant by Mrs. Brown of San Jase. Action has been taken under the gen- eral library law by the citizens of Selma, Fresno County, in presenting a petition to the city authorities for the establishment of a public library. FOLLOWS OUR EXAMPLE. The example set by California and | other States in making the wealth of resources of its State Library avallable to the whole State has lately been fol- lowed by the State of West Virginia. The Virginia State Library contains ),000 books and pamphlets. These are classified and catalogued. The interlibrary loan system, allowing loans of books throughout the State, has been established and traveling libraries are to be sent out.

A gift that is unique in source and s purpose has just been made to the Forbes Public Library of North- ampton, Mass. Mrs. Charles A. Cutter, idow of the late librarian, long prom- ent in library circies, has given a fund of $5000, the income from which is to be devoted to the increase of the librarian’s salary. This gift is con- ditioned upon the yearly appropriation by the City Council of a sum equal to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Publi¢ Library shows a marked advance.

A Concord (New Hampshire) kin- dergarten teacher tells the xollowingi story of a recent experience that she had with one of her little tots. The rules require when a child reports ill- ness in the family that the teacher shall find out whether such illness is contagious or not, and it is customary to send the child home for a statement of faects. The other morning one of the younger boys reported that ‘“his mamma was sick.” He was sent home to find out the nature of the illness and soon returned with the informa- tion: “Mamma says it ain't catching.” ““That won't do,” replied the teacher. “You must go home and find out and then come and tell me just what is the matter with your mamma."” lished in some evenings to draw | boys from the streets and has been | eminently successful. At Christmas | time a story hour was given each aft- | ernoon, attended by boys, giris and older friends. A bird exhibit has been ! made a continuous feature for the ’ yvear.
