BOOKS FOR THE BLIND SECTION
Mabel R. Giixis, in charge.

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
vol. 3;!, no. 1]
CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY
to those wishing to buy such articles, so
I hat the different kinds can bo 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 re-
questing it. Neivs 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
borx'owers 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. Since that time
appropriations for both purposes have
been made each year. This work is
handled by the Library of Congress with
the books printed at or purchased from
various iirinting 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 cur-
rently 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 40.
Since May, 1936, the State Library has
had the responsibility of assigning several
hundred talking book machines in Cali-
fornia and Nevada to blind persons unable
to purchase such machines for themselves.
These machines were made as a W. P. A.
project and have been distribiited as loans
for an indefinite period. Those persons
who are interested in borrowing them
should write to the State Library. They
will be sent application blanks in turn as
more machines are available for distribu-
tion.
The first book was loaned June 13,
1905. There are now 4072 blind borrow-
ers, 79 borrowers having been added dur-
ing October, November and December.

The Prints Room is open lAso the sec-
ond Tuesday evening of each month from
7 to 9 p.m.
The library closes at noon on Saturdays,

BOOKS FOR THE BLIND SECTION
Mrs. Carol I. Alderson, 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 Mulshing 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 re-
questing it. News Notes, reprinted from
News Notes of California Liiraries,
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 thnt jjeriod they will be renewed
on request unless the demand for them is
so great that reneM'al is not feasible.
At the 1981 session of Congress an an-
nual appropriation of $100,0€0 was made .
f"r indviding books for adult blind. In
1935 an additional .$75,000 was appropri-
ated 'for tn Iking books. Since that time
appropriations for both purposes have
been made ea'h year. This work is
handled liy the Library of Congress with
th? 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 cur-
rently 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 85.
Since May, 1936, the State Library has
had the responsibility of assigning several
hundred talking book machines in Cali-
fornia and Nevada to blind persons unable
to purchase such machines for themselves.
These ma chines were made as a W. P. A.
project and have been distributed as loans
for an indefinite period. Those persons
who are interested in borrowing them i
should w^rite to the State Library. They I
will be sent application blanks in turn as

during the quarter, one at Gridley and
the other at Jackson.
On March eighth was inaugurated the
practice of opening the Pirints room
from 7 to 9 p.m. on the second Tuesday
of the month.
REFERENCE SECTION
Bexxlah Mumm, Supervising Librarian.
The Reference Section furnishes infor-
mation to any inquirer. It furnishes
books to public libraries on request of
the librarians, and to any other educa-
tional institution on request of its official
head or its librarian ; to individuals
through the signature of a state officer,
or on receipt of a $5.00 deposit ; to a club
on request of its president, secretary or
librarian.
The , interest shown in the exhibit of
rare and unusual garden books now on
display in the Reference Room leads us
to call the attention of all libraries to
our collection of garden books. While
our reduced book fund has made it im-
possible for us to purchase all the de-
lightful current gardening books that
are appearing from time to time, we do
have cause to take pride in our collection
of the older titles. There are many
volumes dealing with the history of
gardening and with gardening in Eng-
land and other foreign countries. There
are also many volumes with delightful
colored plates. Two items now on display
which are of particular interest are the
three volume set on camellias by Berlese
Iiublishfd in Paris in the lS40's and
the five volume set on geraniums by
Robert Sweet published in England from
1S20-1S30. The colored plates in these
two sets are particularly attractive.
These two items and many others are
too valuable for circulation but are al-
ways available for inspection at the State
Library. Thdre are, however, many
nicely illustrated and interesting vol-
umes which are available for circulation.

BOOKS FOR THE BLIND SECTION
Mrs. Carol I. Alders on, 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 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
Libi-ary 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
193.5 an additional $75,000 was appropri-
ated for talking books. Since that time
appropriations for both purposes have
been made each year, $100,000 being the
appropriation made in July, 1937 for
the production of talking books. This
work is handled by the Library of Con-
gress v/ith the books printed at or pur-
chased from various printing houses. The
California State Library has been desig-
nated as one of the centers to receive the
books and the talking book records sup-
plied from this appropration. Many titles
have been received and are reported
currently in the list of books added with
tlip note that they are provided by the
United States government through the Li-
brary of Congress. See page 135.
Since May, 1936, the State Library has
had the responsibility of assigning several
hundred talking book machines in Cali-
fornia and Nevada to blind persons unable
to purchase such machines for themselves.
These machines were made as a W. P. A.
project and have been distributed as loans
for an indefinite period. Those persons
who are interested in borrowing them
should write to the State Library. They
will be sent application blanks in turn as
more machines are available for distribu-
tion.
The first book was loaned June 13,
1905. There are now 4216 blind borrow-
ers, 79 borrowers having been added dur-
ing April, May and June. Total acces-
sions are 47,637, as follows: European
Braille books 4944; Moon books 10,375;
Revised Braille books 14,329 ; Standard
English Braille books 7080; all other
types 7050; Braille books about music
and Braille music scores 2295 ; * appli-
ances 88 ; * games 58 ; maps 35. Total
talking books (containers) 906.
During April, May and June 11,021
books, etc., were loaned as follows :
Braille grades 1 and li 2347; Braille
grade 2 1560 ; Moon 2649 ; all other types
33 (including games, maps, appliances) ;
magazines 900; talking books (contain-
ers) 3055; talking book machines 83.
Copies of magazines have been donated
during the last three months by Dorothy
Bartunek, F. B. Beans, Mrs. Olive Bell,
Mrs. C. W. Brett, W. A. Buckbee, Ida
* Appliances and games are loaned as
samples to anyone wishing to try them.

They made 230 visits and calls in connec-
tion with the work for purposes other
than giving lessons, and have received 77

reports, digests, encyclopedias and text-
books, the statutes of other states, the
L'nited States, Great Britain, Canada,
Australia and certain other foreign coun-
tries and briefs of counsel in eases de-

bers of the Legislature, information on
the laws of California and other states
and counties is given on inquiry from
libraries and individuals.

ORDER SECTION
Myrtle Ruhl, Supervising Librarian.
During April, May and June, 1617
books were accessioned.
PRINTS SECTION
Bertha S. Taylor, Librarian.
The Prints Section has been established
only since the new State Library building
was occupied in August, 1928. In it are
kept the prints acquired by the State Li-
brary during years past and now for the
first time suitably housed and displayed.
In display cases can be shown about fifty
prints at a time and exhibits are con-
stantly maintained. The Prints room is
open on the second Tuesday evening of
the month, from 7 to 9 as well as during
usual library hours. Visitors are invited.
No prints were catalogued during the
quarter, so the total remains 3483.
Visitors for the last three months num-
bered 1084.
The April exhibition consisted of pho-
tographs representing the year's best
prints of the Sierra Camera Club of Sacra-
mento. Dr. George Joyce Hall donated a
prize of five dollars for the maker of the
print which should win a popularity con-
test. Each visitor to the Prints room
during the month cast a vote for his fa-
vorite. The result was a tie between
"Magnolia Blossoms" by Grant Duggins
and "Woodland Melody" by John Pardee.
The exhibition for the month of May was
from the Prairie Print Makers of Wichita,
Kansas. In June, prints by Perham Wil-
liam Nahl were shown. Loaned by his
daughter, Miss Marylee Nahl, the collec-
tion included drawings, monotypes, litho-
graphs and etchings.
Two talks were made by the Prints
Section Librarian in April. One was
given before the Applegate Wednesday
Club and the other before the Fine Arts
Section, A. A. U. W., in Sacramento.

NEWS NOTES OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES
[Oct., 1938
GIFTS AND BEQUESTS
In response to a request from the Friends of Libraries Committee
of the American Library Association, we have attempted to gather
information on gifts and bequests to California libraries during the
past year.
Approval of the Executive Board of the
association was given to recommendations
of its committees as follows:
"That, to stress the value of li-
brary gifts and to make the public
more 'gift-conscious,' the Committee
recommends :
(a) That the Graduate Library
School of the University of Chicago
be asked to assign as a thesis, a
study of library philanthropy ; such
a study to include not only mention
of gifts which have been made but
should ascertain, if possible, the mo-
tives back of the gifts and how they
were inspired.
(b) That the League of Library
Commissions be asked to cooperate in
this eifort.
(c) That each state bulletin de-
vote one issue a year to gifts and
bequests."
Our summary of information on gifts
and bequests within California suggests
that more publicizing of contributions
could well be tried as a means of increas-
ing their number. National library
periodicals have, from time to time,
offeretl suggestions on such publicity as
well as other means of promoting library
benefactions. While universities and
colleges generally print an annual list
of gifts to the institutions, it appears
that few of our public libraries even
feature a paragraph on gifts and be-
quests, simple or grand as they may be,
in their regular annual reports or printed
bulletins.
To a letter sent out from the State
Library to all municipal, county and dis-
trict libraries in June, 1938, accompany-
ing the annual report forms for Cali-
fornia libraries, less than fifty direct
statements have been received, although
additional information has been collected
from occasional newspaper items and
from general annual reports of libraries.
Our request for listing of contributions
suggested inclusion of "outstanding serv-
ices rendered by individuals, Friends of
the Library groups, benefit affairs for
library funds, loans of fine exhibits, etc.,
as well as outright bequests and gifts
of money, land, collections of books, pic-
tures and music." From the information
available we find that many libraries have
received gifts of some books and periodi-
cals, but only fourteen note the gift of
special collections or individual libraries
of books. Paintings, prints or other art
objects were reported given to eleven
libraries, and five librarians mentioned
the receipt of music collections.
There are now nearly two hundred
library buildings in the State which have
been wholly or partly gifts, and during
the past year donations of a building
site and one building and lot have been
added to this total. Gifts and bequests
of money, usually for purposes stipulated
by the donor, have been reported from
fifteen libraries, with benefit affairs add-
ing to this total from several sources.
Many librarians gratefully mention the
loan of fine exhibits for library purposes
and two note outright gifts of collections.
Additions to the garden and landscaping
of two buildings were included in gifts,
and surely many librai-y rooms have been
brightened with fresh flowers sent in
from time to time, although only one
librarian makes written acknowledgment
of this courtesy. Flags, shrines of the
constitution, installation of a new light-
ing system, a few miscellaneous items of
equipment and the bequest of a book plate
collection add to the list of contributions.
It is practically impossible to make
adequate note of the generosity of count-
less individuals throughout the State in
giving of their own time and talents to

149
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,
1937, to June 30, 1938.
The assessed valutaion 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 are given for all towns having municipal
libraries. Figures for land area and population as used in this
publication are taken from statistics in the U. S. Census Population
Bulletin, 1930.
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 sho-wTi, as a rule, by high school,
city 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 distributing agencies of libraries. For purposes of statis-
tics in this publication, the following definitions and requirements have
been applied.
The total number of distributing
agencies of a municipal library includes
the central library as well as its branches
and stations.
The central office of a county library
i.s counted in total number of distributing
agencies; but it is neither counted nor
listed as a separate community branch
or station.
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
custodian in charge at time open. It
must meet all three of these requirements.
A deposit station is a book lending
agency with a changing collection of
books. A school which is served by the
county library and has not a central li-
brary room meeting the conditions of a
branch is a school station. It is counted
just as one even though the books may
be divided into a number of classroom
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
located in a school building and not con-
nected otherwise with the school library
service is listed only as a community
agency.
Any station which has a reading room
is designated by (r. r.) following the
name of the station.
Municipal, district and high school li-
braries which have affiliated with a
county library for service are counted in
total number of distributing agencies of
that county library although listed sepa-
rately from both its branches and
stations.
In order to keep statistics given herein
consistent with figures given by the State
Department of Education, wo have
counted all districts in a union district as
separate districts in number of "active
school districts that have joined" county
libraries, but not in total number of dis-
tributing agencies.
Under county library statistics, "school
average daily attendance" for schools
served by the county library has been

given in an attempt to show more ac-
curately the number of users of the
library. Similarly, in an effort to make
the circulation as given more nearly cor-
rect, some county libraries count the use
of supplementary books. Only in in-
stances 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 elemen-
tary public school and church libraries
and those which belong to private indi-
viduals and are not open to the public.
They are arranged alphabetically by
place under counties and counties are
arranged alphabetically. To determine
the county in which any place is located

graphs. This list includes locations of
branch and station libraries, although
they are listed elsewhere only under the
main library.
