Several changes in form of entry for items in the index have been effected,
as follows :
Specific headings and direct paging have been used in place of numerous
cross-references.
Libraries have been listed alphabetically by name rather than under location
in this index, since they are arranged alphabetically under county and city in the
October issue, Neivs Notes of California Libraries.
The personal name index has been augmented in that all chief librarians have
been listed, with direct page reference to their libraries.
Counties and many cities have been listed, with page references. For loca-
tion of county free library branches and stations see "Place Index," pages 140-170,
this volume.

cember 10 Forrest Stead resigned to ac-
cept a position in the State Board of

filled by Miss Gladys Hird who will re-
port for work January 6. Miss Kather-
ine Foote of Sacramento did practice
work in the Reference Section during the
holidays. On the 18th of October Elsie
Sherwood was married to Clinton H.

work in the California Section.
As a result of recent civil service ex-
aminations new eligible lists have been
established for the positions of Editorial
Librarian, Junior Librarian and Library
Aid.
The Book Review Section held four
meetings during the quarter. On Octo-
ber 16 Miss Hitt reviewed North to the

CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY
Sacramento City Library talked about
some of the new children's books, espe-
cially those suitable for Christmas gifts,
and on December 5 Mrs. Frank B. Gil-
lette reviewed Red Sun in the Morning,
by Tristram Coffin, and Older People,
by Hector Bolitho.
Many members of the State Library
staff attended the meeting of the Sac-
ramento Library Club on December 3, at
which the guest speaker was Robin
Lampson, author of Laughter Out of the
Ground. Mr. Lampson told some of the
circumstances of the writing and publish-
ing of his book and read some delightful
selections from this story of the gold
rush days written in verse.
During the Community Chest drive in
October the State Library staff contrib-
uted $357.25 and in November eleven en-
rolled as members of the Red Cross.
The annual Christmas party was held
at Dunlap's Dining Room December 18.
Music and presents from Santa Claus fol-
lowed the dinner. Mrs. Elsie Gibson was
chairman of the Christmas party com-
mittee and the other members were Mar-
garet Bennett, Grace Murray, John
Steely, and William Calvert.
A number of librarians from other
states and countries visited us during
the quarter. The last week in October
Miss Ella V. Aldrich, on leave of ab-
sence from the University of Louisiana
Library, was in northern California.
Miss Aldrich was making a study of
county and regional libraries on an A. L.
A. fellowship. She met Miss Gillis in
Yreka and returned with her to Sacra-
mento, where she spent several days in
the State Library before starting a series
of visits to the county libraries of Cali-
fornia. On October 28 Dr. F. D. Hugo,
Director of Education, Natal, South
Africa, visited the State Library. Dr.
Hugo was especially interested in the
California county library service to the
rural schools. The last week of Novem-
ber James Goodwin Hodgson, a special-
ist in government documents in the Uni-
versity of Chicago Libraries, spent sev-
eral days in the Government Documents
Section of the State Library. Dr. G. H.
Sciholefield, parliamentary librarian of
New Zealand, was a State Library vis-
itor November 26 and 27, and Dr. Leon
Carnovsky, instructor in the Graduate
Library School of the University of
Chicago, stopped on his way east De-
cember 23 to see the State Library.
LIBRARY HOURS
Week days 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The library closes at noon on Satur-
days except during sessions of the Legis-
lature.
BOOKS FOR THE BLIND SECTION
Mabel R. Gillis, in charge.
Embossed books in the various types
are sent to any blind resident of Cali-
fornia upon application. Circular and
finding lists with Call slip postal, will be
sent on request. Writing appliances and
games for the blind are loaned as samples
to those wishing to buy such articles, so
that the different kinds can be tried be-
fore they are ordered. Addresses of firms
supplying all articles loaned will be fur-
nished on request.
Books sent to individuals from an in-
stitution distributing embossed literature
are carried free through the mails.
A catalog of all books in Moon type
in the Library up to October 1, 1926, and
one including all books in Braille up to
April 1, 1927, will be sent to anyone
requesting it. News Notes, reprinted
from Neivs Notes of California Libraries,
carrying a list of additions to the Library
each quarter, is sent to each blind reader.
The State Library will be glad to have
borrowers who care to do so write any
letters or requests for books to the Li-
brary in Braille or New York point.
Attention of the borrowers is drawn to
the fact that books for return to the Li-
brary should always be placed inside
mail boxes and not left on top of them.
Again we request borrowers not to
send post card receipts or requests to the
Library inside of books. When books are
returned they often go out very quickly
again and the pages are not opened up
one by one. Therefore, a request sent in
that way can very easily be lost for many
months. The post cards should be sent
in the mail separately.
Borrowers are requested neither to
turn down the corners of pages nor to
fold over the page. Places should be
kept by some sort of book-mark.
Books may be kept one month. At the
end of that period they will be renewed
on request unless the demand for them is
so great that renewal is not feasible.
At the 1931 session of Congress an an-
nual appropriation of $100,000 was made
for providing books for adult blind. In
1935 an additional $75,000 was appropri-
ated for talking books. This work is
handled by the Library of Congress with
the books printed at or purchased from
various printing houses. The California
State Library has been designated as
one of the centers to receive the books
10

fornia upon application. Circular and
finding lists, with Call slip postal, will be

CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY
53
A catalog of all books in Moon type
in the Library up to October 1, 1926, and
one including- all books in Braille up to
April 1, 1927, will be sent to anyone re-
questing- it. News Notes, reprinted from
News Notes of California Libraries,
carrying a list of additions to the Library
each quarter, is sent to each blind reader.
The State Library will be glad to have
borrowers who care to do so write any
letters or requests for books to the Li-
brary in Braille or New York point.
Attention of the borrowers is drawn to
the fact that books for return to the Li-
brary should always be placed inside
mail boxes and not left on top of them.
Again we request borrowers not to
send post card receipts or requests to the
Library inside of books. When books are
returned they often go out very quickly
again and the pages are not opened up
one by one. Therefore, a request sent in
that way can very easily be lost for many
months. The post cards should be sent
in the mail separately.
Borrowers are requested neither to
turn down the corners of pages nor to
fold over the page. Places should be
kept by some sort of book-mark.
Books may be kept one month. At the
end of that period they will be renewed
on request unless the demand for them is
so great that renewal is not feasible.
At the 1931 session of Congress an an-
nual appropriation of $100,000 was made
for providing books for adult blind. In
1935 an additional $75,000 was appropri-
ated for talking books. This work is
handled by the Library of Congress with
the books printed at or purchased from
various printing houses. The California
State Library has been designated as
one of the centers to receive the books
printed from this appropriation. Many
titles have been received and are reported
currently in the list of books added with
the note that they are provided by the
United States government through the
Library of Congress. See page 80.

1905. There are now 3662 blind bor-
rowers, 55 borrowers having been added

OUTLINE OF STATE LIBRARY SERVICE TO OTHER
LIBRARIES
Introduction
The aim of the State Library is to supplement the resources of
other libraries of the state. Our plan is to purchase the unusual, rare
or expensive volumes, and other material that is urgently needed occa-
sionally, but not necessarily needed often. Material which may be
expected to be in frequent demand should be purchased by local libra-
ries. As time goes on and local collections develop with well-
rounded reference collections and with general material selected to fit
the peculiar needs of each community, it should be increasingly true
that the State Library is called on only for specialized and supple-
mentary material, and for advanced research service. It is with the
above points in view that the State Library purchases only one copy
of any book. Classes of material not represented in the State Library
collection are English fiction, children's books and medical books.
A fundamental point in State Library service is that, in a com-
munity7 where there is a library, all requests be sent to the State Library
through the local library. In a county where there is a county library,
branch libraries must send in their requests through the central office
of the county library. Municipal libraries not belonging to county
library systems send requests direct to the State Library. High school
libraries not belonging to county library systems may send their
requests directly to the State Library or may borrow through their
local municipal libraries. There are several reasons for insisting that
requests be handled by libraries whenever possible : the local librarian
knows local resources and whether or not the request can be handled at
home ; the local librarian thus learns what local needs she can not yet
supply ; time and expense are saved for the State Library if the number
of centers through Avhich communications come in are minimized. In a
community where there is no library an individual may apply directly
to the State Library and receive service upon presenting an application
card signed by a state officer as guarantor, or upon making a deposit
of five dollars.
PART 1
Requests — How to Make
The following outline gives the pro-
cedure that should be followed in making
State Library requests. If this is care-
fully studied and explicitly followed the
highest degree of speed and satisfaction
in service will be secured.
I. General suggestions.
1. Secure as much information as pos-
sible from borrower requesting
material and forward all essential
points to State Library.
2. Send in all requests on slips supplied
by State Library, using a separate
slip1 for each author request and
a separate slip> for each subject
request. Notes of explanation may
be attached to slips.
3. Use author request slips for author
requests and subject slips for sub-
ject requests.
4. Make three copies of each request.
Send two copies to State Library

[July, 1936
and keep one copy on file under
heading "Requested from State
Library."
5. Never advise a borrower to write
direct to State Library. All com-
munications should be handled by
local library.
6. Sign all slips.
II. Author requests.
1. Give authors full name, if possible.
Be sure spelling is correct.
2. Give complete and correct title. If
title is very long, parts may be
omitted, but first few words should
always be given.
3. Give place of publication, name of
publisher and date of publication.
The above information can in
most cases be found in the United
States Catalog and Cumulative
Book Index. We ask that those
sources be checked for every title
before the request is sent in.
If your borrower has found an
advance notice of a current book
not yet listed in the ordinary trade
lists, or a review in some unusual
place such as the book review
section of a technical magazine,
tell us where the notice or review
was found.
If you are not able to find the
imprint of the book, find out from
the borrower the approximate date
of publication and some descrip-
tion of the subject matter. In-
clude this on your request slip.
4. Indicate whether the exact edition
mentioned is required, or whether
an earlier edition, or one by a
different editor will serve.
5. Underline the proper words on the
request slip.
a. Branch or Central library.
b. Immediate need or later.
If it is known that the book
will be useful to your bor-
rower whenever available, un-
derline the word "later" on tne
request slip. If the book is in
it will be sent immediately. If
the book is out the report will
be sent to that effect, indi-
cating when the book is due,
and that it will be sent later.
Unless the word later is under-
lined on the request slip, the
State Library does not reserve
the book.
If, however, you find that
your borrower can use the book
later, after having asked for it
as an immediate need, and re-
received the report that it was
out, return the slip to the State
Library, with the note, "Send
when available," and the book
will then be sent as soon as itl
comes in.
It is well to explain to your
borrower that the State Library
buys only one copy of a book,
and that in the case of a very
popular book it is liable to be
a long time, sometimes several
months, before the book will be
available. If at any time you
find you no longer need a book
which you have asked to have
reserved for you, please notify
us to that effect.
c. Exact book or substitute.
Suggest to your borrower
that the State Library is will-
ing to select a substitute if the
specific title is out or not in its
collection.
6. Give State Library call number
when you can.
III. Subject requests.
1. Indicate purpose for which the mate-
rial is to be used : club paper,
high school debate, etc.
2. Give as much information as possible
as to exact phase of subject
wanted.
3. Define words when there is a chance
of ambiguity, i.e., pattern drafting
may mean dress patterns or sheet
metal work.
4. As far as possible indicate what
material has been supplied by local
library.
Do not send in requests without
first trying your own resources.
5. Lists — when asking for lists be par-
ticularly careful to state exact
phase of subject wanted.
PART 2
Requests — How Answered
The method followed by the State Li- j
brary in handling requests is given below.
I. Author requests.
1. Books in State Library.
a. If the book requested is in the
State Library, the call number
is added, and dates sent and
< In c are stamped on request
slip.
Law books, books not yet
cataloged and government pub-
lications do not have call num-
bers.
VOl. 31,110. 3] OUTLINE OF LIBRARY SERVICE TO OTHER LIBRARIES 91
b. If the State Library edition is
of a different date than the one
requested, or varies in other
ways, editor, translator, etc.,
that fact is noted. If the dif-
ference is slight, or no other
library has the requested edi-
tion, the State Library copy is
sent at once, but if the differ-
ence is considerable, the report
is sent, with the expectation
that the requesting library will
notify us if our edition can be
used.
2. Books not in State Library.
a. Requests are checked with
union catalog. If the title is
listed in the union catalog, we
supply any omissions on re-
quest slip, such as author's full
name and imprint, and indicate
what libraries in the state own-
the book.
For a description of the
union catalog, see Part 6, sec-
tion IV.
b. If the book requested is not
listed in the union catalog, re-
quests are checked through the
trade catalogs back as far as
1900. A particular effort is
made to discover whether the
book wanted is a current pub-
lication not yet listed in the
obvious sources.
Unless a special request is
made for the full imprint we do
not search through earlier trade
catalogs, foreign lists nor li-
brary catalogs such as the
British Museum catalog.
c. Each title requested is consid-
ered as a possible purchase.
If it is decided to buy the
title, this is reported to the
requesting library.
II. Subject requests.
Oall numbers, authors and titles of
books sent are given on the subject
slips, with dates due and sent
stamped on.
III. Rubber stamps used in answering
requests.
When a stamp consists of more than
one line, a check is typed in front
of the line which applies to the
request.
1. NOT IN STATE LIBRARY
ORD. BUT NOT REC'D
OUT. DUE
WILL SEND LATER
Unless a check has been typed in
front of the "Will send later," we
are not holding your request.
2. NO LIBRARIES LIST
FOLLOWING LIBRARIES LIST
When many libraries list a title we
indicate only those close to the
requesting library.
3. BEING REPAIRED
WILL SEND LATER
This means that the book is being
rushed through the repair section
and will be sent just as soon as
possible.
4. STATE LIBRARY COPY MISSING
When our copy of a book can not
be found we report what libraries
list in union catalog.
5. REFERRING REQUEST TO SUTRO
This applies mainly to requests for
genealogical material.
6. FICTION
State Library does not buy English
fiction, except California titles
which are kept as a reference
collection and do not circulate.
7. THIS BOOK DOES NOT CIRCULATE
Books not available for circulation
are
(1) Reference tools.
(2) Valuable books which could
not be replaced if lost.
(3). Californiana items.
In case of urgent need we
sometimes make exceptions to
the above rule and lend such
books for a limited time, with
the understanding that they
are to be used only in the
library.
8. DUPLICATE OF REQUEST REPORTED
OUT DUE
ORDERED NOT RECEIVED
WILL ORDER
WILL SEND LATER
When a book is sent out which has
been requested as a "later," and
about which we have reported
"Will send later," a duplicate of
the original request slip is typed,
with the above legend stamped on,
properly checked.
9. WILL SOON BE AVAILABLE
DO YOU STILL WANT?
Because the State Library buys only
one copy of a book it is sometimes
several months before a given
title, requested as a "later," is
92
NEWS NOTES OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES
[July, 1936
available. After a request is
three months, old, a duplicate of
the original request is sent to the
borrowing library, with the above
legend stamped on. If libraries
will check up on outstanding re-
quests from time to time, and can-
eel those for books no longer
needed, it will save time at the
State Library.
PART 3
Handling of Books and Records by
Borrowing Libraries
I. Request slips.
One copy of the two slips sent to the
State Library is kept in a permanent
file. The other, filled out as out-
lined above, is returned to the bor-
rowing library.
The request slips indicating that books
have been sent from the State Li-
brary should be filed in "date due"
file, and after the books have been
returned to the State Library in per-
manent author or subject file of
material borrowed from the State
Library. Keeping this permanent
file of requests gives the librarian
some idea of what is available at the
State Library and enables her to
supply the State Library call num-
ber when requesting a book a second
time, thus saving time at the State
Library. If it is found necessary to
borrow the same book over and over,
such a title should be considered for
purchase for the local collection.
Slips for books not in State Library
should also be kept in this permanent
file to show the librarian what mate-
rial is not available at the State
Library.
II. Receipt postals.
For each package of books sent out a
double postal is typed, listing each
item in the package. The return
postal should be carefully checked
with the books in the package and
mailed to the State Library as a
receipt. If the shipment is to the
main office of a county library or to
a city library, the return postal is
addressed to the State Library, but
if the shipment is to a branch, the
return postal is addressed to the
county library. When the county
library receives the return postals
they should then be sent on to the
State Library after any necessary
records are made at county library
headquarters.
III. Missing books.
If a book is missing from a shipment
or the entire package is not received,
or there is any sort of mistake,
notify the State Library immediately.
It is much easier to check up on
mistakes at once than after several
weeks have passed, especially when
it is necessary to send a tracer
through the post office.
IV. Wrapping packages.
When books leave the State Library
they are carefully wrapped in cor-
rugated board and a stout wrapping
paper, with a cardboard tag tightly
pasted on. When returning books
use the same or similar corrugated
board and equally stout paper.
Serious damage to books has resulted
from careless wrapping. The ad-
dress tag which has "California
State Library" printed on the other
side should be reversed and care-
fully pasted onto the package.
V. Return slips.
When returning books, insert a return
slip, in the pocket of each book. This 1
slipi should contain the name and
address of the borrowing library, the
call number, author and title of the
book, and dates due and sent.
When the book is received at the State
Library, this slip is stamped "Re-
turned" with the date, and sent
back to the library. Keep, these
slips as a permanent file to settle
any questions that may arise.
Books should reach the State Library
on date due except when being re-
newed.
VI. Renewals.
If you find shortly before the book is
due that your borrower is not
through with it you may request a
renewal. The same slip, is to be used
as when the book is returned, giving
the same information, except that
the phrase "are returning" is crossed
out, and the phrase, "wish renewal
on" is underlined. This slip will be
stamped with the date due, two
weeks ahead, and returned to you.
When a slip is marked "not renew-
able" it means that we have a re-
serve on file for the book in ques-
tion and so are not able to extend
the time. Requests for renewals
VOl. 31, 110. 3] LIST OF COUNTIES HAVING COUNTY FREE LIBRARIES 93
should reach the State Library the
day the books are due.
While all request slips should be sent
in in duplicate, only one copy of
renewal and return slip is needed.
Overdue notices are sent out on
postals one week after the books are
due. Second postal notices are sent
one week later. Ten days after that
a letter is sent out, stating that un-
less the books are returned or
renewed within a week a bill will be
sent. If no reply to the letter is re-
ceived within the week, a bill is sent.
Please keep your records up^to-date
and save for other matters the time
spent on overdue s.
PART 4
Transportation Charges
The State Library pays the transpor-
tation charges on outgoing shipments
when lending to municipal libraries,
county libraries and branches, and the
borrowing library pays on return ship-
ments. High school libraries, not belong-
ing to the county library system, college
libraries and individual borrowers pay
transportation charges both ways.
A special postage rate is allowed by
the Post Office on library books. The
ruling is given in United States official
postal guide, vol. 15, p. 15, July 1935.
PART 5
Notices About Branches
Immediately after a county library
branch is established the State Library
should be notified so that full informa-
| tion as to the address may be added to
our files. Notify us at once, also, of a
change in the address of a branch, and
when a branch has been discontinued.
"New branch" slips are sent out upon
request. Use these slips for this pur-
pose, since information given upon re-
quest slips is liable to be overlooked.
PART 6
Special Services of State Library
I. Foreign books.
The State Library collection of foreign
books includes titles in the following
languages :
Bohemian Greek, Modern Russian
Danish Hungarian Spanish
French Italian Swedish
German Portuguese Yiddish
These books may be borrowed in col-
lections of ten or fifteen volumes and
kept for three months, to allow time
for them to be passed around among
the whole group1 of foreign readers.
When asking for foreign books let us
know whether your borrowers would
enjoy poetry, drama, etc., as well as
fiction.
From time to time we have published
in News Notes of California Li-
braries lists of titles in the various
languages. A list of these lists is
given in News Notes for April 1936.
II. Pictures.
The collection of pictures consists
of several hundred reproductions of
the works of the masters, with a few
examples of modem work. Many of
them are the colored Medici or This-
tle prints, and all are framed in
buckram and equipped with eyelets
so that they may be hung.
As many pictures as are needed may
be borrowed at one time.
Since pictures are usually wanted for
one club meeting, or other special
occasion, they are lent for one week,
but may be renewed if needed longer.
All requests for pictures should reach
the State Library at least one week
in advance of the date needed.
A printed list of the pictures available
for circulation is to be found in
News Notes of California Libraries,
January 1923, p. 9-34. A copy of
this list may be borrowed from the
State Library. Since the list was
printed a few reproductions of the
works of modernistic painters have
been added to the collection.
When requesting pictures, each picture
should be listed on a separate slip' the
same as books, giving the call num-
ber, and the artist's name and title
of the picture.
III. Lists of accessions.
The State Library has no recent printed
catalog of its collection, but prints
in each issue of News Notes of Cali-
fornia Libraries a list of the acces-
sions during the preceding quarter.
Reprints of this list of accessions are
issued and two copies sent to each
county library, or other library re-
questing them. The idea is that the
two copies should be clipped, each
item mounted on a slip, and the slips
filed alphabetically. The value of
such a file is evident along several
94
NEWS NOTES OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES
[July, 1936
lines. State Library call numbers
are given in these lists.
IV. Union catalog.
The union catalog is an important asset
to the inter-library loan system
existing among California libraries.
The foundation of this catalog is the
file of Library of Congress printed
cards, for which the State Library
is a depository. To this file is
added a copy of the author card of
every book in the county libraries,
and in several of the municipal li-
braries. The University of Cali-
fornia Library and Stanford Uni-
versity Library also send us a record
of their accessions, and some other
universities and colleges send cards
for selected additions to their col-
lections.
From outside the state, we receive
cards for the union catalog from
Harvard University Library
University of Chicago Library
Michigan University Library
Olin Memorial Library, Wesleyan
University
John Crerar Library, Chicago
When a book requested is not in our
collection, we report, from the in-
formation given in the union catalog,
in what libraries in the state it may
be found. If requested to, we will
also report whether it is to be found
in any of the above mentioned li-
braries outside the state.
The State Library does not borrow
from one library for another library.
The- county libraries and many munici-
pal libraries maintain a generous sys-
tem of inter-library loans. The two
university libraries are willing to lend
to other libraries but ask a service
charge of 5(W on the first volume,
and 25<£ on each additional volume in
a package. The University of Cali-
fornia College of Dentistry and Med-
ical School Library, and the Lane
Medical Library are willing to
cooperate in their special fields.

questing it. News Notes, reprinted from
Netos Notes of California, Libraries,
carrying a list of additions to the Library
each, quarter, is sent to each blind reader.
The State Library will be glad to have
borrowers who care to do so write aDy
letters or requests for books to the Li-
brary in Braille or New York point.
Attention of the borrowers is drawn to
the fact that books for return to the Li-
brary should always be placed inside
mail boxes and not left on top of them.
Again we request borrowers not to
send post card receipts or requests to the
Library inside of books. When books are
returned they often go out very quickly
again and the pages are not opened up
one by one. Therefore, a request sent in
that way can very easily be lost for many
months. The post cards should be sent
in the mail separately.
Borrowers are requested neither to
turn down the corners of pages nor to
fold over the page. Places should be
kept by some sort of book-mark.
Books may be kept one month. At the
end of that period they will be renewed
on request unless the demand for them is
so great that renewal is not feasible.
At the 1931 session of Congress an an-
nual appropriation of $100,000 was made
for providing books for adult blind. In
1935 an additional $75,000 was appropri-
ated for talking books. This work is
handled by the Library of Congress with
the books printed at or purchased from
various printing houses. The California
State Library has been designated as
one of the centers to receive the books
printed from this appropriation. Many
titles have been received and are reported
currently in the list of books added with
the note that they are provided by the
United States government through the
Library of Congress. See page 127.
The first book was loaned June 13,
1905. There are now 3653 blind borrow-
ers, 34 borrowers having been added dur-
ing April, May and June, and 43 borrow-
ers lost by death from July 1, 1935, to
June 30, 1936. Total accessions are

138 NEWS NOTES OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES [Oct., 1936
CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES— ANNUAL STATISTICS
In June annual report blanks were sent to all California libraries
listed. Statistics from these annual reports are printed in this issue.
Except when otherwise noted, statistics are for the period from July 1,
1935, to June 30, 1936.
The assessed valuation as given for each county does not include
the value of intangible property, a third of the tax on which goes to the
county.
Population statistics, as of 1930, are given for all towns having
municipal libraries.
New forms of annual report blanks were used this year, with
separate forms for municipal and county libraries so that requests for
statistics would apply more specifically to the needs and conditions of
each type of library. As nearly as possible these forms were made in
accordance with the A. L. A. statistical report blanks.
In response to a demand for statistics regarding juvenile collections
and service, Ave have included such figures in every instance reported
from municipal libraries.
Branch library statistics are omitted under the names of various
branches. They are included, however, in the general figures given
under the main library. For this reason, statistics for their own books
only and not for county service are shown, as a rule, by high school,
public and other libraries which are affiliated with a county free library.
An effort is made to have the statistics uniform in reference to
number of branches and stations. For purposes of statistics in this
publication, the following definitions and requirements have been
applied :
The total number of distributing I books. A school which is served by the
agencies of a municipal library includes j county library and has not a central li-
the main library as well as its branches brary room meeting the conditions of a
and stations. branch is a school station. It is counted
The central office of a county library I just as one even though the books may
is counted in total number of distribut- be divided into a number of classroom
ing agencies only if it gives the same
service as a branch.
A community or school branch is an
auxiliary library, with a permanent foun-
dation collection of books, reading room
facilities, and at least one librarian or
collections.
A school branch or station which gives
community service is designated by (c)
following the name of such distributing
agency of the county library. A com-
munity branch or station which is merely
custodian in charge at time open. It located in a school building and not con-
must meet all three of these requirements, nected otherwise with the school library
A deposit station is a book lending service is listed only as a community
agency with a changing collection of agency.
In order to keep statistics given herein consistent with figures
given by the State Department of Education, we have counted all dis-

school districts that have joined" county libraries, but not in total
number of distributing- agencies.
Under county library statistics "school average daily attendance"
has been given in an attempt to show more accurately the number of
users of the library. Similarly, in an effort to make the circulation as
given more nearly correct, some county libraries count the use of sup-
plementary books. Only in instances where this figure is an actual and
not estimated count of supplementary books circulated for home use
has it been reported in statistics.
All libraries are listed except elementary public school and church
libraries and those which belong to private individuals. They are
arranged alphabetically by place under counties and counties are
arranged alphabetically. To determine the county in which any place
is located see list following these introductory paragraphs. This list
includes locations of branch and station libraries, although they are
listed only under the main library.
