84 REPORT OF THE LIBRARY BOARD. 84
The tables in Appendix A show the growth of the library
and its expenditures since its establishment in 1869.
The policy of free access to our shelves permitted to the
patrons of the library, adopted sometime since, is fully justified
by experience and results. Our success along these lines has
attracted the attention of managers of most of the large libraries
of the country, and our plan is being approved and followed
with satisfaction by others. We believe that we are justified
in claiming that this method, inaugurated by us, will, in the
course of a few years, be the accepted plan in vogue in most, if
not all, of the public libraries of the country.
The plan adopted by us a few years ago of issuing books
directly to the teachers of the public schools, to be by them
selected and distributed to their pupils, has worked admirably,
and continues to produce the most satisfactory results. This
work has been largely extended since its inception, and its suc-cessful
working should prompt the Board to further extend its
operations as fast as our facilities will permit. The importance
of this work, we believe, cannot be overestimated.
In 1895 there were issued from the main and branch li-braries
595,169 volumes; in 1896, 596,469, being a gain of
1,300 volumes. The total number of visitors to the reference
department in 1895 was 104,854,^ in 1896, 147,128, being a
gain of 42,274. The total number of books consulted in 1895
was 78,723; in 1896, 103,864, a gain of 24,941.
The bindery, established sometime since, for the binding
and repairing of books, continues to show most satisfactory
results. The quality of the work done has been better than
that by outside parties, and the total cost much less.
Since our last report, and in February, 1896, the Wood-land
branch was opened under most auspicious circumstances,
and is now running smoothly and with the most gratifying re-sults.
A substantially new and commodious building was pro-vided
for this branch, well and conveniently located. The
pronounced success which followed the establishment of
branches on the West Side and at Miles Park is fully matched
by the Woodland branch. In January, 1896, the Board estab-lished
a special branch at the Central High School building,
designed more particularly for the teachers and pupils of the
REPORT OF THE LIBRARY BOARD. 85
school. This branch is doing an excellent work and is highly
appreciated by its intelligent patrons. We have, during this
year, provided for the establishment of still another and very
important branch on the South Side, on Clark avenue, near
Pearl. An entirely new building is now in process of con-struction
and will, when completed, be an ornament to the
city and a credit to the Library Board. It is confidently ex-pected
that this handsome structure will be ready for occu-pancy
about February 1. 1897. The agitation begun about
two years ago by this Board for the construction of a perma-nent
and suitable central library building, culminated last win-ter
in the passage of a law by the general assembly of the State
authorizing the sale of bonds for that purpose of $250,000, and
the levying of a tax of two-tenths of one mill to pay for said
bonds. Owing to the condition of the money market, it was
not thought advisable to place said bonds on the market this
year, but present conditions seem to indicate that these bonds
can now be offered with every prospect of their finding a ready
sale on good terms, and it is hoped by the time our next annual
report is due, the site for our new building will be selected and
the building will be under way. With the increased facilities
afforded by this new building the work of the library should
be greatly extended and improved. Hence, this Board faces
the future with hope and confidence, and predicts that with
this liberal appropriation, it will be enabled to construct a
much-needed public library in Cleveland, in which all our peo-ple
can take a just pride.
Our city was distinguished in September, 1896, by the
meeting of the American Library Association. It was one of
the largest and most successful annual meetings ever held by
this association, and the delegates were unsparing in their ex-pressions
of appreciation of the facilities afforded them, and the
cordial manner in which they were received and entertained by
the various local committees appointed for that purpose. This
Board felt especially honored in the selection of our effi-cient
and accomplished librarian, Mr. W. H. Brett, as president
of said association for the ensuing year.
In closing this report we desire to renew the expression
of our high appreciation of the uniform courtesy and help
86 REPORT OF THE LIBRARY BOARD. 86
we have received during the past year from the School Council,
and the Director of Schools, and of the conscientious efforts
of our excellent librarian and his corps of trained assistants
to advance the best interests of the library. For details of the
work of the past year, and a more comprehensive statement of
the present status of the library, you are referred to the report
of the librarian, accompanying this.
Most respectfully submitted,
JOHN C. HUTCHINS,
Cleveland, Ohio, December 7, 1896. President.

88 REPORT OF THE LIBRAj-.IAN. 88
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN.
To the Honorable the Public Library Board:
Gentlemen:—In compliance with Rule 1, for the Cleve-land
Public Library, I submit to you the following statement
of the work in the library during the year ending August 31,
1896, and as nearly as possible of the condition of the library
at the close of that year, being the twenty-eighth annual report
of the librarian, and the twelfth which I have had the honor
to submit to you:
BOOKS.
According to the last annual report, there were on hand
96,921 volumes. There have been added during the year, by
purchase, gift, the binding of periodicals and in other ways,
12,259 volumes; deducted by wear and loss, 2,255 volumes;
making a net increase of 10,004 volumes and a total on hand on
August 31, 1896, of 106,925 volumes.
A statement of the number of books in the library may
be found in Appendix B. A statement of books on hand in
circulating departments, by classes, may be found in Appendix
C. A statement of books added to the circulating department,
by classes, may be found in Appendix D. A list of the maga-zines
placed in the circulating department of the main library
and of the branches may be found in Appendix E. These are
issued for home use. A list of the more important works
added to the reference library may be found in Appendix F.
A list of magazines and papers on file in the reading room at
the main library and at the branches may be found in Appen-dix
G.
Of the books noted in Appendix A, as condemned, a por-tion
have been given to various institutions. Most of them
have been so worn as to be of no further use.
REPORT OF THE LIBRAj-.IAN. 89
PAMPHLETS.
There are on hand at the main library 4,895 pamphlets; at
the Central High School, 212; at the West High School, 171;
a total of 5,278, being an increase during the year of 1,447.
GIFTS.
A list of the gifts to the public library during the year,
with the names of the donors, may be found in Appendix H.
BOOK BINDING.
The report of the foreman of the bindery, which in detail
forms Appendix I, shows an aggregate of 11,596 volumes re-paired,
4,373 books of all sizes, and newspapers bound, 6,576
rebound in old covers, 8,298 numbered, and a considerable
amount of miscellaneous work. Estimated at prices formerly
paid by contract, a considerable saving has been effected. The
work is superior in style and finish and is stronger, and may
be expected to prove more serviceable.
CIRCULATING DEPARTMENT.
This department has been open 294 whole days and 12
half-days, the entire library having been closed on the legal
holidays and on Thursday afternoons in July. The hours are
from 8:00 a. m. to 7:30 p. m., except on Saturdays, when the
hours are from 8:00 a. m. to 8:30 p. m. The number of books
issued during the year was 326,647. The average daily use
was 1,067. Further details of the work in this department
may be found in Appendix K.
REFERENCE DEPARTMENT AND READING ROOM.
This department has been open 52 Sundays, 303 week
days for the full time and 10 half-days, these being the regular
public holidays and Thursdays during the month of July. The
hours have been from 8:30 a. m. to 8:30 p. m., on week days^
except on Saturdays, when it remains open until 9:30 p. mr,
and from 12:30 p. m. to 8:30 p. m. on Sundays and holidays
throughout the year. The reference department and reading
room were visited by 76,819 people during the year. The
number of books noted as issued for reference and reading
90 REPORT OF THE LIBRAj-.IAN. 90
were 62,672. Details of- the work in this department may be
found in Appendix L. Two hundred and thirty-eight period-icals
were placed on file in the reading room; of these 24 were
daily, 106 weekly, eight semi-monthly, 82 monthly, four bi-monthly,
one semi-monthly, and 13 quarterly. A list of these
may be found in Appendix F.
WEST SIDE BRANCFI.
The number of volumes issued for home use by the West
Side branch was 115,220. The number of visitors to the ref-erence
department was 29,219, and the number of volumes
noted as consulted or read by visitors to this department wai>
7,915. Details as to its work in the circulating department
may be found in Appendix K, and in its reference department
in Appendix L. As the reference and circulating departments
are in the same room, the hours are the same as those of the
reference department at the main library, except that it opens
one-half hour earlier on week days.
MILES PARK BRANCH.
The number of volumes issued for home use by the Miles
Park branch was 58,341. The number of visitors to the refer-ence
department was 23,852, and the number of volumes noted
as consulted or read by visitors to this department was 12,674.
Details as to the work in its circulating department may be
found in Appendix K, and of its reference department in Ap-pendix
L. As the reference and circulating departments are
in the same room, the hours are the same as those at,the West
Side branch.
WOODLAND BRANCH.
The Woodland avenue branch was opened for inspection
and formally dedicated to public use on the evening of January
31st; a large gathering of citizens of that vicinity and
others interested were present. The exercises were presided
over by Mr. Horn, chairman of the special committee, to whose
charge the preparation and equipment of the branch had been
committed. Brief addresses were made by members of the
Library Board and others.
REPORT OF THE LIBRAj-.IAN. 91
The branch has been highly appreciated, as the following
record will show:
The number of volumes issued for home use by the Wood-land
branch was 60,487. The number of visitors to the refer-ence
department was 15,169, and the number of volumes noted
as consulted or read by visitors to this department was 11,811.
Details as to the work in its circulating department may be
found in Appendix K, and of its reference department in Ap-pendix
L. As the reference and circulating departments are
in the same room, the hours are the same as those at the West
Side branch.
CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL.
During the month of December, in pursuance of an ar-rangement
between the Library Board and the school author-ities,
the library of the Central High School was classified
and numbered according to the system in use in the library; and
on the opening of the winter term, January 6, was opened as a
branch of the library, the plan being substantially that the
books and material continue to be the property of the school
authorities, who also furnish light, heat and janitor service.
The Library Board furnishes a trained assistant and operates
the library as a branch. The experiment has proven a de-cided
success. The issue of books has been large in proportion
to the number of volumes available, and the use of books for
reference has been much larger in proportion than in any
other branch of the library, and has been of great value to the
school.
The number of volumes issued' for home use by the Cen-tral
High School branch was 6,339. The number of visitors
to the reference department was 2,069, and the number of vol-umes
noted as consulted or read by visitors to the department
was 8,792. Details as to the work in its circulating depart-ment
may be found in Appendix K, and of its reference depart-ment
in Appendix L. The reference and circulating depart-ments
are in the same room, and the hours are the same as
those of the School.
92 REPORT OF THE LIBRAj-.IAN. 92
OTHER WORK IN THE SCHOOLS.
The issue of books through the schools, as described in
previous reports, has been continued. There were issued early
in the school year 3,794 volumes to 73 teachers. These re-mained
in the schools during a large part of the year, and
were in turn issued by the teachers to their pupils for home
use 29,435 times.
The value of these books to the pupils in our schools who
have the use of them is undoubtedly very great. It brings
to many of them the first opportunity to form the acquaintance
of good books. It is a matter for great regret that the re-sources
of our library enable us to meet only a small part of
the demand for books to be used in this way.
SUMMARY.
The total issue of books for home use by the main library,
as given in the foregoing report, was 326,647; by the West
Side branch, 115,220; by the Miles Park branch, 58,341; by
the Woodland branch, 60,487; by the Central High School,
6,339; other schools, 29,435. Of these books about 42% were
fiction, 21% children's books, and 7% German books. The
total number of visitors to the reference departments of the
library was 148,128, of whom 76,919 visited the main library,
29,219 the West Side branch, 23,852 the Miles Park branch,
15,169 the Woodland branch, 2,069 the Central High school.
The total number of books noted as consulted was 103,864, of
which 62,672 were used at the main library, 7,915 at the West
Side branch, 12,674 at the Miles Park branch, 11,811 at the
Woodland branch, 8,792 at the Central High School. The
figures given of work in the reference department are under
stated; a tally is kept at the desk by the assistant of visitors
observed entering and also of books actually given out; no
attempt is made to include the use of cyclopedias and others
of the more frequently used works for reference nor of periodi-cals.
CATALOGUING.
The regular work in the cataloguing department was car-ried
forward during the year, as reported in previous years,
REPORT OF THE LIBRAj-.IAN. 93
discontinued with the issue of the number for December, 1895,
the interest in it not appearing to be sufficient to warrant its
continuance. The opening of the Woodland branch added
largely to the work of the cataloguing department for several
months.
The publication of the Cumulative Index to Periodicals
was begun in June, but at the close of the period covered by
this report was not sufficiently advanced to report upon with
any fullness.
OPPORTUNITIES AND NEEDS.
The work of the year past has emphasized more strongly
than ever before the need of a more commodious building for
the Central Library. The shelves of the circulating library are
overcrowded in every department, and there is no further floor
space available for additional cases. The newspaper reading
room, occupying, as it does, the same floor as the reference
library, crowds it uncomfortably and greatly lessens its value
to those who desire to use it for serious study. This crowding
is further increased by the overflow of the catalogue room into
the reference department, it being necessary to place the desks
in this department, of several cataloguers which necessarily
occupy places by the windows and considerably lessen the
space available for readers. The catalogue department, as
indicated in the foregoing, is greatly crowded, and the work
of the bindery is done at great disadvantage from its limited
space. It is an occasion of great satisfaction that the legisla-ture
has, by its action at its last session, provided the way for
a new library building.
One of the greatest opportunities open to the library for
increasing its usefulness appears to be in the extension of its
work with the schools. During the last two years all the books
in the library which were available have been placed in the
schools and have been issued to the pupils as described fully
in previous reports. The library has not been able to extend
its work in this direction for lack of books, nor has it been
able to meet more than a small part of the demands upon it
from the teachers. There is no question but that a collection
94 REPORT OF THE LIBRAj-.IAN. 94
of from 12,000 to 20,000 volumes carefully selected with refer-ence
to the needs of the teachers and pupils in our schools
would be in constant use during the entire year and would
prove an adjunct of great value to the schools.
CONCLUSION.
The work of the assistants and other members of the
library force during the year past should be especially noted.
It has been marked by an increasing interest in and an appre-ciation
of the importance of their work and a desire to use
every means and opportunity to render it more efficient—with
what success the figures of this report may testify. It deserves
as a whole high commendation.
In conclusion may I express my appreciation of your con-fidence
in me, which has made my work easy and pleasant,
and of the uniform kindness and courtesy which I have expe-rienced
at your hands.
Respectfully submitted,
WM. H. BRETT,
Librarian.
