It has become evident that a large increase of shelf room is
needed, due to the growth of the Library, and also to the fact
that last year the Library was made a depository of the Govern-ment
publications. To meet this need, detailed plans have been
presented by competent architects. Preliminary, to their adop-tion,
it has been ascertained after a'careful investigation by
proper authorities, that the floor supports, from the basement
up, need strengthening by the addition of more pillars, in order
5 REPORT OF LIBRARY BOARD.
to safely carry the increasing weight which is accumulating upon
them. The matter is one of safety to all concerned, and having
met the approval of your honorable body is in line of receiving
prompt attention.
During the entire year the work of preparing the manuscript
for a new, accurate and complete author, subject and title cata-logue
has been continually pushed, and within the coming year'
we think to issue a catalogue which will be a credit to the
Library and of great value to our reading patrons.
For more full and detailed statements as to the condition of
the Library and the work done, we beg to refer to the appended
report of the Librarian.
Respectfully submitted,

6 LIBRARIAN'S REPORT.
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To the Honorable the Public Library Board :
GENTLEMEN :—In compliance with Rule 17 for the Cleve-land
Public Library, I have the honor of submitting to you
the following statement of the work done in the Library during
the year ending August 31, 1887, and as nearly as possible of
the condition of the Library at the close of the year, being the
Nineteenth Annual Report of the Librarian.
BOOKS.
According to the last annual report there were on hand
August 31, 1886, in all departments 48,837 volumes. There
have been added during the year 3,514 volumes, deducted by
exchange, wear, and loss as far as known 954, making an esti-mated
net gain of 2,560 and total of 51,397 on hand August
31, 1887. These figures so far as they refer to the Reference
Department are based upon careful examination of the books-
In the Circulating Department, however, it was thought by the
Book Committee and the Librarian, to be unwise to make an
inventory, as it would involve more labor than it would be
worth, owing to the fact that the work of rearranging the
books on the shelves and of making new shelf catalogues, was
not completed. The figure for that department gives therefore
the figure for last year plus the additions and minus the known
losses. There is Lo doubt that some farther deduction should
be made for losses incident to the business of the Circulating
e>
Department, showing books as freely as we are obliged to do,
from the lack of sufficient catalogues. This can be determined
by an examination which can more easily be made when the
rearrangement is completed.
Further details are given in Appendix A.
The total purchase of books during the year amounts to
2,837 volumes, for which the sum of $3,621.07 was paid,
or an average of $1.27 per volume.
7 LIBRARIAN'S REPORT.
Among the more important additions to the .Reference
Department may be noted Stephen's Dictionary of National
(English) Biography as far as published, Vols. I, XI.
Wallace's Trotting Register, II, VI. (We still lack Vol. I.)
Penny Encyclopaedia, 22 volumes.
Racinet's L'Ornament Polychrome.
Jeancon's Pathological Anatomy.
A set of the Westminster Review and a set of The Nation,
Vols. I, XL. The last, the valued gift of Mr. Edwin Decker.
In January we began the use of classified accession books
in the Circulating Department from which we give in Appen-dix
B a statement of the additions to this department in the
various classes of books during the last eight months of the
year, and the cost of each. From these tables it appears that
during the eight months there were purchased 1,557 volumes at
a cost of $1,432.22. Of these 807 volumes or a litttle more
than 51 per cent, purchased at a cost of $602.62 or 40 per cent,
of the money expended, belong to the classes of Fiction and
Juvenile stories.
In this classification, History, Travel and Poetry for child-ren
are not classed with Juveniles, but with those classes.
On the other hand, an examination of the table of circula-tion
by classes will show that 66 per cent, of the circulation of
the Library is drawn from these two classes, which numbered at
the beginning of the last year about 36 per cent, of the whole
Library, and it is true also, that in no part of the library is the
demand so imperfectly supplied.
An examination of the accession books will show that a
large portion of the additions in Fiction have been from the
works of writers who have a well recognized place in literature.
The works of Scott, Dickens, Thackeray, George Eliot and
other masters of fiction have been bought in large numbers to
meet as nearly as possible the demand. The same has been
done with the best modern stories such as 'ARamona" of which
we have 23 copies, and Ben-Hur" of which we have 50,
while of the lighter novels which have been selected, only one
or two copies have usually been bought.
From the foregoing it will clearly appear that the purpose
has been to meet as nearly as possible the demand for the better
books, and to supply the lighter and more ephemeral ones very
8 LIBRARIAN'S REPORT.
sparingly. Nevertheless, the purchase even thus carefully
made of any considerable portion of the novels of the season
involves an expense for which the return is doubtful.
I would suggest that the Board consider whether the purpose
of the institution might not be better fulfilled by still further
curtailing the purchase of the lighter fiction.
This might be done at some sacrifice of popularity, and
would probably for a time lessen the circulation. However, a
large circulation may not be a sure indication of success. The
quality rather than the quantity of books furnished, is the truest
measure of a library's usefulness.
A portion of the books condemned during the year have
been given to the city institutions, as follows :
Infirmary 150
Workhouse 156
306
The residue are on hand.
PAMPHLETS.
There, are on hand :
At Central High School 212
At West High School 71
In the Library 1,009
Total 1,292
Being an increase during the year of 139.
DONATIONS.
A list of the gifts to the Library with the names of the
donors is given in Appendix C.
WORK IN THE LIBRARY—CIRCULATING DEPARTMENT.
This department has been open 307 days, being every week
day in the year, except the holidays.
The hours are from 8:30 A. M. to 9:00 P. M.
The number of books issued during the year was 199,651 or
an average of 650 daily.
The number of membership cards issued was 4,142, mak-ing
the whole number issued in the new series since January 1,
1886—13,035. A detailed statement of the work of this
department may be found in Appendix D.
REFERENCE DEPARTMENT.
This department has been open 359 days, or every day in
the year except the holidays.
11 LIBRARIAN'S REPORT.
The hours have been from 9:00 A. M. to 10:00 P. M. on
week days, except that from August 2 to August 31, the room
was closed at 9:00 P. M., and from 1:00 to 9:00 p. M. on Sun-days
throughout the year.
The Reference Department and Reading-room were visited
by 57,458 people during the year, being a d a i l y average of 160.
Of these visits 12,176 were on Sundays, being a daily average
of 238.
Farther details are given in Appendix E.
A noteworthy feature of the work in this department is the
increasing use of the bound sets of magazines by means of
Poole's Index and the Quarterly Index of Periodicals.
A list of Newspapers and Periodicals currently taken and on
file in the Reading-room may be found in Appendix F. From
this it appears that 247 periodicals and newspapers are taken at
an expense of $785.96.
CATALOGUING.
The work of preparing a new Catalogue has been continued
during the year.
Much additional work has been done upon the Card Cata-logue,
the Library is being rearranged upon the shelves and
re-numbered and new Shelf-catalogues are being written. This
portion of the work is nearing completion.
BINDING.
During the year, 2,987 volumes have been bound at an
expense of $1,740.32, or an. average of 58 cents per volume
for all sizes, from sixteen mos. to newspapers.
The figure, $2,098.34, given in the President's Report as
cost of binding, includes $358.02, paid to the binders for other
work, most of it for embossing numbers on the books in the
circulating department. The binding is mostly in one-half
morocco.
For further details, see Appendix G.
In addition to this, 3,891 volumes have been repaired by the
assistants in the Library.
The Librarian's cash account may be found in Appendix H.
Respectfully submitted,
WM. H. BRETT, Librarian.
