LIBRARY SERV CE ..
William Donahue Ellis, well-known
Cleveland writer, is the
author of two best selling his­torical
novels Bounty Lands
and Jonathan Blair.
• SOME FIND IDEAS • • + •
When he tapped the rich resources of the Main Library in preparation for
his books, Author Ellis found ideas and invaluable historical information, but
he also discovered how others were "striking it rich" through library research.
But let him tell yOll about it:
"The library makes the writer. Very directly it profits him to have the run
of what has been called the best research library in the country. It's his ware­house
of raw material. Raw material governs the finished product.
"In the case of the writer, it's obvious. But I have been amazed at how
many other craftsmen and business men directly use the library in their work.
" Daily I see builders finding plans, engineers finding answers, inventors
'searching' patents, lawyers seeking arguments, investors scouting markets.
I saw one woman build a cosmetic business (and hence a life) from a 'how'
to' book in the library."
"We went running to the East
131st Street Branch Library with
all of our problems," said Mrs.
Joseph Sevec, "when we decided
to make a new life for ourselves,
purchasing a fal"m near Cleve­land."
The Sevecs are pictured
before the entrance oftheir West­ern
Reserve farm-house, built
about 1835. They planned its
restoration with the help oflibrary
books - they also found the solu­tions
to many of their building
and farm problems in this way.

Inten1iewed while do­ing
research in the
Technology Division
was Ralph B. Textor,
electrical engineer,
presid::nt of Textor
Laboratories and
Textor Coal Inspec­tion
SertJice. He says;
"New problems con­srantly
arise in my
business requiring Lhe
most up-to-date in­formation
available.
"This I have been
finding in the General
Reference and Tech­nology
Divisions and
in the Business In­formation
Bureau."
John L. Price, Jr., who founded
the Musicarnival, Cleveland's
popular musical theater of which
he is now the producer.
• SOLUTIONS, KNOW.-HOW •
"Johnny" Price tells how library resources aided him in this enterprise
which required theatrical and business know-how:
"In deciding whether Musicarnival would be a practical business venture, I
spent many weeks in the Library, studying population trends, the geographic
locations of various income groups, weather, business tracts and trends. r also
spent considerable time checking the history and development of musical theater
through books and the back issues of trade publications.
"Coming from a solid entertainment background, r was able to coordinate
my own experience and artistic ideas with the methods of sound business practice.
r studied this operation all over the United States but obtained more information
in the Cleveland Library than from all other sources put together."
Arthur Loesser, Head
of the Piano Depart­ment
ofthe Cleveland
Institute of Music
and Music Critic of
the Cleveland Press.
• • • • • ��� • • • • VALUABLE •
Profiting especially from the Library's valuable collections in the fields of
music and the fine arts are the city's musicians, architects, artists, designers, and
interior decorators. Among the musicians who appreciate library service is
Cleveland's distinguished pianist. Arthur Loesser, who says:
"The Cleveland Public Library is an indispensable resource for the life of my
mind. It makes me happy to think of benefiting from its ample collections and
from the unfailingly eager, friendly, efficient helpfulness of its staff. My recently
published book Men, Women and Pianos, A Social History could never have been
completed without the Cleveland Public Library's aid. I should feel deeply de­pressed
at the idea of moving away to some place where its facilities would not
be available."
Dr. Zelma George, dramatic
soprano and lecturer, is well
known to Cleveland audiences
for her magnificent performance
of Madame Flora in The
Medium.
. RESOURCES • • • • • • • • • • •
Mrs. George, friend and patron of the Library, writes of its usefulness to her
as a musician and scholar:
"Two years as a Research Fellow for the Rockefeller Foundation, and a
series of residences in several sections of the country, have given me an acqm:int­ance
with many libraries - their personnel, facilities and services. Not long ago,
I returned from the Library of Congress to complete some difficult months of
writing on a doctoral dissertation, and I cannot be too lavish in my praise of the
effective co-operation and help which I got from many departments of the
Cleveland Public Library: notably, General Reference, Music, Sociology, Educa­tion,
Phiiosophy, Brett Hall, the John G. White Collection, and Interlibrary Loan.
"As a sociologist, I should like to express my appreciation for the ways in
which the Library has made itself a community center, has extended itself into
the community, and has provided and serviced group activities which excite the
imagination and appetite of the participants for the many reading services it
provides."
Kenneth W. Ahers, president of
the Griswold-Eshleman Advertis­ing
Co., is one of the many
business executives of Cle~leland
who use the resources of the
Library to facilitate the work of
their organizations.
• • IN MANY ACTIVITIES .
The Library's collection of business and technical books, its files of trade
journals and business and economic services are of immense value to Cleveland's
business houses, both large and small. On any business day, numerous research
workers from local commercial and industrial organizations may be seen at work
in the Business Information Bureau and in the various subject divisions of Main
Library. Read what Mr. Akers says:
"It is a privilege to have this opportunity to say what we think of the
Cleveland Public Library's Business Information Bureau. We use your facilities
every week in the year, and I do not believe that you have ever failed us.
"You and your people are never-failing in your courtesy, skill, understanding.
I don't know how we could keep house without you, and I hope that we never
have to try."

• • • OF DAILY LIFE. • • • •
The usefulness of library service to an individual continues long after his
retirement. This is especially true in the case of Mr. Quilter.
"There are no long commercials with library books - just solid enjoyment,"
says Matthew Quilter, who for many years has been a borrower and loyal friend
of the Library. During his busy life in railroading, he always saved time for
books, each year reading an important classic in addition to his recreational
reading. This year, for example, he read The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire
(5 '10k) and reread Carl Sandburg's Abraham Lincoln. V/ith more leisure since
his retirement, h~ makes regular visits to the Popular Library for new fiction and
to the Sociology and History Divisions for books on labor and American history,
two of his great interests.

"Our branch library is a part of our life. The friendly personnel are all
good friends that we enjoy meeting regularly. Whether it is help in plan­ning
a party, a home do-it-yourself project, a new business publication, or just
reading for fun, we always find what w want in the library."
Mary Ann, aged 13
"Now that I have lots of reference work to do, I never fail to get help at the
library. Whene er I am in doubt about anything, I just call on the librarians
who always help me find an answer."
Barbara, aged 11
"Going to the library is a habit with me. I started to go with the family al­most
as soon as I could walk. I looked forward to the new picture books
and, when I learned to read, the summer reading club spurred me on in my
leisure reading."
David, aged 6
"Cars and trucks are my hobby. I can always find a new picture book about
trucks to take home. Soon, I will be able to read them for myself."
The neighborhood
s< rv"d by the West
Park Branch Library
is predominantly resi­dential,
and many
family groups ~Iisit
the library regularly.
T)'pical of these
groups is the RandalL
J. Kightlinger family,
phorographed in their
home.
• • • OF THE FAMILY • • • •
Every week four busy Kightlingers visit West Park Branch Library to do
their "library shopping." Mr. Kightlinger, who is a timekeeper at the National
Carbon Co. and adult superintendent of the First Evangelical and Reformed
Church, Lakewood, "shops" for materials to use in Sunday School worship ser­vices.
His wife teaches in the Garfield school and likes to keep in touch with
new t.rends and methods in education. She also borrows books on flowers and
gardening for her mother, the "green thumb" member of the family.
Sandra, their teen-nge daughter, is an avid reader and became a member of
the Summer Reading Club as soon as she was eligible. She uses the facilities of
both her branch library and the John Marshall High School Library in readying
her high school assignments. Her sister Diane belongs to the Summer Reading
Club and is a regular borrower in connection with her school work.
"All the members of our family read for fun, and for this the Library is in­valuable
... Good reading is a part of the Kightlinger family life," says Mrs.
Kightlinger. -

What My School Lib.-a,·y Means To Me
"Many times in his course of study a
student finds his text-boob insufficient.
Ie is at these times that a well-eqliipped
and well-organized library becomes an
invaluable asset. As a senior I can
better appreciate the great service West
Technical High School's library has
rendered me both in my studies and
the marlY extra-cunicular activities in
'(,vhich I have taken part. I wilt hold
also as a part of my memory the cour­teow
cooperation which I received
when seclrching for help. It is beCtluse
of this and many other things too
numerous to mention that I am con­vinced
that, without our library, ow
school would be incomplete."

Diane Pohlman is a member of the Stevenson Room Critics, a group of young
people who meet regularly in the Library's Stevenson Room to talk over and ex­change
ideas about books they have read. "This v,'as fun," Diane said, "and the
meetings meant a great deal to me. Through them I have become interested in
many more kinds of books."
Phillip M. Kadis reports that he used the Stevenson Room for recre tional
reading and school assignments while he was in high school. "I enjoyed the
Roads to World Understanding programs that are held in the Library and helped
backstage on some of them. Now that I am in college, I use the Library for ma­terial
in writing research papers."

When the people cannot come to the Library, the Library goes to them in
institutions, hospitals, and private homes. Take the case of Henry Terrill, for
example:
"I was seventeen years old, spending much of my time in a wh el chair just
looking out of the window, when the Rehabilitation Center referred me to the
Library's Hospital and Judd Fund Division for home library service. Then the
visiting librarians began bringing me interesting books and I read avidly the ac­counts
of the war then in progress, developed an interest in drawing, sculpture
and other arts. Later my interest extended to jewelry and watch repair work,
which finally became my vocation, and I established a small business in my own
home.
"Throughollt this entire experience, the Library has brought me the books
which fed or extended my knowledge. Even today, while I am very busy with
my work, I depend on the Library for armchair travel and entertaining stories
which provide recreati n."

"One of your most frequent borrowers for a number of years, I would like
to tell you how much the Library for the Blind has meant to me and to a great
number of other blind people in the community," says Mr. Falke.
"Those of us who received our education in the schools of Cleveland were,
of course, required to read a great many books. The advantage of being able to
read many of them ourseives - by talking books and Braille transcriptions - in­stead
of having them read to us by sighted friends connot be understood by any~
one who has not experienced such difficulties. Now that we are out of school,
we can read the great literary classics as well as many of the recent publications
because of the wealth of new library materials for the blind. This makes it
possible for us to keep up with the times and to converse with our sighted friends
on an equal footing.
"Thank you for the wonderful work you are doing."
A BRIEF REVIEW OF THE YEAR
When Lily Pons came to Cleveland in advance of her operatic appearance
in 1954, she was distres ed to discover that she had not brought along the
score of Lucia di Lammermoor, but a hurried call to the Music Section of the
Library produced the score before rehear-al time! Lily Pons profited from
'round-the-year library service that i5 always available to every Clevelander.
On :10 average day in 1954, however, more than 3,fOO persons visited the
Main Library, which is open for service every day of the year except Sundays and
I
holidays. Tens of thousands of other Clevelanders used their branch and school
libraries, community and other station libraries, and bookmobile service. How
valuable these services were to individual borrowers has been described on the
preceding pages by some representative men, women, and children of this com­munity.
Cleveland readers borrowed a generous one-third of a million more books
from their Library in 1954 than in the preceding year, the total number being
virtually six million books borrowed. This was the largest per capita book cir­culation
anlong the twenty-nve largest cities in the United States. Readers in
1954 were especially interested in books on popular religion, self-improvement,
and how-to-do-it subjects.
. THROUGH ·YEAR--ROUND •
Administration-wise, this was a year of change and transition. President
Dwight D. Eisenhower's appointment of L. Quincy Mumford as the Librarian of
Congress brought Mr. Mumford's resignation as Director of this Library, effective
on August 15, 1954. With the Library since 1945, he had led it through the
difficult post-war year,. A nationwide search for a successor, undertaken by the
Board of Trustees, resulted in the appointment on December 15 of Raymond C.
Lindquist, then Librarian of the Cuyahoga County Library.
During the interim, the Library was ably administered by an Administrative
Comrnittee of Library Department Heads, appointed by the Board of Library
Trustees. The members of the committee were: Emelia E. Wefel, Chairman;
Jean c. Roos, Co-chairman; Rose L. Vormelker, Secretary; Adeline Corrigan;
Helen B. Lewis; Fern Long; Loraine A. Slater.
A BRIEF REVIEW OF THE YEAR, continued
Noteworthy events of 1954 included the Library's cooperation in the cele­bration
of Seaway Dayan September 4 when Henry F. Schneider, President of
the Board of Trustees, and the Administrative Committee represented the Library.
Mr. Schneider received for the Library the first sample of are to come from
Labrador. In December a large civic luncheon honoring the 25th anniversary of
the founding of the Business Information Bureau of the Library, and of Rese
Vormelker as its Head all those years, was sponsored jointly by the Cleveland
Chamber of Commerce and the local chapter of the Public Relations Society of
America. The completion of the remodeling and decorating of the Library's
auditorium provided a suitable setting for numerous lectures and film programs.
Distinguished foreigners representing libraries and other educational institu­tions
in many pelns of the world visited the Library in 1954, studying its adminis­tration
and facilities. Among them were thirteen consulting engineers of West
Germany and Berlin. The Library was the only public library included in their
itinerary which was planned by the Council for International Progress in Man­agement.
Other visitors were Professor G. R. Boulanger, Brussels, Belgium; Kurt
Thalberg, University of Oslo, Norway; Hans Moller, The Royal Library, Copen­hagen,
Denmark; and Dr. Herbert Kreter, University and Teachers' Training
College, G6ttingen, Germany.
• COMMUNITY SERVICE • •
Keeping Cleveland one of the best-informed cities in the nation, and keeping
its sixty-seven miles of community book shelves stocked with well selected books,
despite rising costs, were the Library's major responsibilities during the year. An
alert and creative staff of librarians, however, continued to study constantly the
city and its needs, seeking new ways to be useful to the community, and devel0p­ing
educational programs for people of all ages. As a result of these continuing
efforts, the Cleveland Public Library has come to supplement the work of a great
many of the city's social and educational organizations, and is in the vanguard of
libraries serving children and youth, the sick, the handiccpped, and the elderly.
All year long, day and night-whenever the workaday world is active-the
Public Library is busy through all its agencies bringing books, information, service
to hundreds of thousands of people in the Cleveland metropolitan community.
