5 REPORT OF LIBRARY BOARD.
The large and commodious addition to our rooms by
reason of the new building has most pronouncedly increased
the utility of the Library.
With increased space we have, after careful considera-tion,
arranged the Library upon an alcove system; placing all
books of a specified class in an alcove under the care of a
competent assistant, thus giving the public access\to the
cases and an opportunity to examine books before drawing.
This system has met with the hearty approval of the
reading public and, in conjunction with our new and
accurate Catalogue, has largely increased the drawing and
reading of a better class of books.
We desire to explain that the unusually large item for
printing and binding in our expenditures was largely incurred
in issuing the Catalogue.
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,
H. C. B R A I N E R D , PRESIDENT.
Before the publication of the foregoing report the Board
was deprived of a valuable and esteemed member by the
sudden death, on October 15th, of Dr. A. B. Carpenter.
At a special meeting of the Board on October 16th the
following resolutions were adopted :
WHEREAS, In the sudden death of Dr. A. B.
Carpenter, our community has lost an honored
citizen, the medical profession a brilliant expon-ent,
and the members of this Board a faithful
colleague and genial friend; therefore, be it
Resolved, That this Board desires to express
its appreciation of Dr. Carpenter's intelligent and
conscientious services to the library and of his
courtesy and consideration toward his fellow
trustees in the Board and the employes of the
Library. That they desire to express to his
family their profound sympathy in this, their great
loss. That this Board attend the funeral services
in this city in a body, and that the Library be
closed during the hours of these services. That
these resolutions be made a part of the records of
this Board, and that a copy be sent to the family
of our deceased friend.
Report of the Librarian.
To the Honorable the Public Library Board:
GENTLEMEN : — I n compliance with rule 17 for the
Cleveland Public Library I submit to you the following
statement of the work done in the Library during the year
ending August 31, 1890, and, as nearly as possible, of the
condition of the Library at the close of that year, being the
Twenty-Second Annual Report of the Librarian and the sixth
which I have had the honor to submit to you.
BOOKS.
According to the last Annual Report there were on hand
August 31, 1889, 57,370 volumes. There have been added
dusing the year 6,223 volumes, deducted by wear and loss
1,213 volumes, making an estimated net gain of 5,010
volumes, and a total on hand August 31, 1890, of 62,380
volumes.
The most important addition to the Library during the
year was a set of drawings and specifications of patents from
July 1880, to date, deposited with the Library by the Com-missioner
of Patents. The total purchase of books during
the year amounts to 4,970 volumes-, for which the sum of
^5>5I9-3° w a s paid, or an average of $1.11 per volume.
More books (996 volumes) were added in the class
juvenile than in any other. These are largely duplicates of
the best stories for children. Some of them have been pur-chased
to the extent of from twenty to forty or fifty copies,
and of one book, "Little Lord Fauntleroy," sixty copies have
failed to supply the demand. This, however, is not all that
has been done for the young people. Many of the books
noted as purchased in other classes, notably in American
history, travels, and science were bought especially for the
use of the boys and girls both in school and out. The
issue of books to young people was larger than ever before.
Next in order of amounts purchased come fiction (869), and
history (344). Forty-three copies of the current numbers of
the more popular magazines have been placed in the Cir-culating
department, and issued for home use.
8 LIBRARIAN'S REPORT. II
Of the books condemned the better portion were given
to the unclassified schools. Those which were so badly worn
as to be valueless were destroyed.
PAMPHLETS.
There are on hand at the Library, 1,613 ; at the
Central High School, 212; at the West High School, 71, a
total of 1,896, being an increase of 174.
WORK IN THE LIBRARY—CIRCULATING DEPARTMENT.
This department has been open 306 days, being every
week day in the year, except the holidays. The hours are
from 8:30 A. M. to 8 P. M., except on Saturday when the
hours are from 8:30 A. M. to 9 P. M. The number of books
issued during the year was 234,238, being an average issue of
766, and an increase of 39,900 over last year. The number
of membership cards issued was 3,560, and the total number
to date 22,814.
REFERENCE DEPARTMENT.
This department has been open 359 days, or every day
in the year except the holidays. The hours have been from
9 A. M. to 9 P. M., on week days, and from 1 P. M. to 9 P.
M. on Sundays, throughout the year. The Reference depart-ment
and the Reading-room were visited by 53,566 people
during the year, being a daily average of 149, and a decrease
of 8,248. Possibly this may be due to the increased use of
the Circulating department. Of these visits, 9,559 were on
Sunday, being a daily average of 184.
Two hundred and seventy periodicals and newspapers
are taken in the Reading-room. The total expense for
periodicals is $959.15.
ENLARGEMENT OF THE ROOMS.
During the months of March and April the Library was
extended and rearranged to occupy the additional room
provided by the enlargement of the building. The Circulating
department is now arranged on an alcove plan, allowing
access to all classes of books except fiction. This has thus.
LIBRARIAN'S REPORT. II
far appeared to be very convenient for those using the Library,
is economical of work, and has not developed any serious
disadvantages.
LIBRARY CORPS.
The work of the assistants in the Library has been very
satisfactory. A harmonious spirit and an interest in the
success of the work has prevailed. The entire Library was
moved and rearranged without closing it or discontinuing
the issue of books, and the unusual demands thus made upon
their time and strength were met with the utmost cheerful-ness.
They are deserving of the highest commendation.
WORK IN THE SCHOOLS, ETC.
''^During the last term of the year collections of from
thirty to fifty books were deposited in seven schools of the
grammar grade to be issued by the teachers to their pupils.
The books were carefully selected from the classes history,
travel, biography, popular science, and story. The work
done with them was very satisfactory J One of our leading
manufacturing firms has made arrangements to draw books
for about one hundred of its employes. They send for the
books, return them, and become responsible for them. The
plan is working. A good class of books are drawn. It is a
significant fact, that, of the hundred names registered by
them not more than three had previously drawn books from
the Library.
CONCLUSION.
We have reason to regard the year just closed as marked
by the introduction of improved methods. The outlook for
the future is bright. The field of useful work among the
young people in our schools and manufactories is great, and
appears to be the most pressing demand.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM H. BRETT, Librarian.
