Charles Oldfather Pr es ident, League of v/otncn Voters • �• , ,. ,/ LAWRENCE FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY Lawrence, Kansas Report To The Board Of Directors For 1967 • • To The Board Of Directors: - Perhaps the 1967 development which has the most far-reaching potential was the designation of an official system of cooperating libraries by the State Librar,y Commission in November 1967. At this time, recognition was given to an experiment in library, cooperation which had its beginnings in J965. Official designation of the system included recognition of Lawrence Public Librar,y as resource center and administrative headquarters for the seven-county regional federation. . • T has, of course, been acting in this capacity since July, 1966. During this time much trial and error has taken place in an effort to develop a pattern of coop- · eration between 30 varied public libraries. Progress has been made. Much remains to he made . Public libraries as a whole in Kansas are experiencing the pains and rewards of learning new ways of doing things. Learning ways to work together to avoid having each procedure and expenditpre repeated 360 ways in needless duplication. As this system will benefit other libraries in the area, so it will benefit Lawrence. The benefits will be varied, and will increase with the growth of the system concept itself. But among them will include access to centrally cataloged and processed books (possibly state subsidized), availability of large central collections of films and special resource materials, and hook-ups with large reference centers. As administrative and reference center for the system, Lawrence will benefit from increased professional person~el. and resource materials. An immediate example would be the anticipated $5,000 - $8,000 reference grant expected to be made by the State this Spring. La·~ence As system headquarters, Lawrence in 1967 instigated a central reference and interlibrarJ loan service to libraries in the system area. In addition, late in 1967, we began a service of central purchasing and processing of materials for .libraries in the system. :~aterials are bought through Lawrence and sent to Kansas City, Kansas, for processing. One major benefit to all libraries, Lawrence included, is a larger discount on materials through bulk buying. • • Other major points of interest for 1967 include: • BALLARD CENTER COLLECTION. In December, we loaned some 600 children's and young adult books to the Ballard Center to begin their library. The library, staffed on a volunteer basis, is under the direction of Mrs. Helyar, who has worked part-time for the Lawrence Public Library for over six years. Gifts of area residents, in addition to the loan collection, have made the Ballard Library a very useful educational tool for all ages in the North Lawrence area. INVENTORY. To keep our collection up-to-date and to insure accuracy of the card catalog, a complete inventory of our book holdings was made in December of 1967. The library closed its doors December 15-18 and during those four days all of the full-time staff plus 7 temporary persons inventoried some 64 000 books . Initial results indicated approximately 2,500 adult books and 1;270 children's books were missing. These represent books presumably stolen and • • • • • • • • • • ~\ '--/ ' \ �Report To The Board of Directors -2 - do not take into account those legitimately charged out but not returned . A monthly check will be made for items presumed missing . This will continue until s~~or . Undoubtedly, a number of these items vdll turn up due to error s , etc . \ve anticipate that our final count l-dll be 3, 000 books missing - 2,000 adult and 1,000 children's . These will then either be replaced or withdrawn from the card catalog . ?HYSICAL FACILITIES. Major physical problems for 1967 included replacement of the roof and of the front stairs . The roof had deteriorated so badly early in 1967 that it had to be replaced . Late in the same year the front stairs began to collapse and oresented a danger to library users. Both the roof and the stairs were replaced by the city. Problems of oatda ted electrica 1 wiring and of seepaee of water in the basement continue to exist . During 1967, lack of space for books became critical . It became necessary late in the year to purchase some 27 sections of library shelving to house anticipated book purchases through the year 1968. Several investigations by architects and the city engi neer disclosed the danger in placing additional load-bearing book shelves in many areas of the first floor . This problem will become even more critical by 1Q69 when virtually no safe area will be left in the adult area for the placing of more stacks . It may be that material ~~11 then be put in storage, until such time as additional facilities become available . The above items merely serve as added indications that the current library plant is physically obsolete and spatially inadequate for modern day library operations . A building initially built for a population of 10, 000 now serves 46, 000 . , SALAniES. The .l968 budget drawn up in June of.l967 provided increases for professional, non-professional and part-time employees. To more closely meet prevailing area salaries for non-professional personnel, beginning salaries were increased by 0100 and an annualihcrement of $150 was provided. This brings us nearer to competing institutions,·but will need reviewing at the coming budget session. Part- time wages were increased to a minimum of $1.00 per hour which would seem to be sufficient for the immediate future. Beginning salaries for professional librarians with no experience were raised to $6, 600 . · This is comoetitive with KU but still some $400-700 less than prevailing national averages. CIRCULATION OF CIIIIDREN' S BOOKS. The old method of using audio charging for children's books was replaced in 1967 by a self- charge method , similar to the system in the adult department . Initial reaction to this change seems to be favorable: One innovation, suggested by Mrs . Halfen , was to provide a carbon copy of each charge - out list, thus providing mothers with records of all mate rials checked out . Hany patrons have expressed satisfaction with this added touch. SID.Z•1ER READING PROGRAH AND STORY HOURS . 1, 976 children enrolled in our sunune r reading program in 1967 . Of this number, 1, 202 read 20 books or more and a total of 1, 515 r~ad more than 10 books to qualify them for a reading certificate or a seal for their previous reading certificate . Spring and Fall stor,y hours for pre - school children continued to be popular. 931 children attended the sessions 354 during the spring period and 511 in the Fall . Story hours are held on Friday mornings at lO :JO . One session is held for t he 4 to 5 year old group and one for the t oddlers . I • • , I NEW LAlv TO AFFECT LtUIRZNCE PUBLIC LIBRARY. Under a law passed in the State Legislature in 1967 local communities will base their population figures on Federal census proc~dures . Douglas County will begin this with i t s census - • • • �Report To The Board of Directors -3report in the Fall of 1968. This will mean that Lawrence should register a population count of well over 40,000. Under a previous state law, cities over 35,000 population fall into a special library category. Library boards in these cities are authorized to turn in levy request directly to the County Clerk for a maximum of 2.5 mills. Thus, the budget for 1970 will no longer be a integral part of the total city budget as in the past. Hutchison, Salina and Topeka now come under this category. BOOK CIRCULATION. Reversing a two-year drop in book circulation, ~he librar:y • experienced an increase in books checked out of 2,188 over 1966. In the total pattern of book circulation, adult books increased 3,460 over the previous year while circulation of children's books dropped 1,272. This has been a continuing pattern for three years. Circulation of adult books has continued to rise while . juvenile circulation has decreased. This pattern would seem to be following a nation-wide trend toward decreases in circulation of children's books in public libraries. The most obvious reason for this decrease is growth, through Federal funds, of resources and personnel in school libraries across the count~J in the last few years. Much of the service provided by public libraries to childreJ1 in the past was in lieu of needed services at the school level, especially in the elementa~ grades. A fair assumption is that schools and public libraries will work out their individual roles in the years to come and that the public libraries, more to their nature, will become resource centers concentrating on building collections of informational materials which are being increasingly demanded at the elementary level. This would follow the pattern of the public library at the secondary level. Many of the more commonly used materials are available at the school level while the public library serves more in the capacity as a factual and informational resource center for the student. In addition, of course, the children's library will continue its role in providing pre-school materials as well as supplementazy reading for students of all levels.· In the long run, increased excellence of school libraries will mean increased awareness of the importance of books and the public library will continue to fill a vital, if changed, need. RE:r'ERENCE SERVICES. In conjunction with services perfonned for the Northeast Kansas Libraries, we have been able to increase our reference services to local patrons qy additional personnel in our reference dept. We have not yet managed to make this service available at all times the library is open,. but are slowly reaching this goal. Gradually, as the patron is able to have the services of a professionally trained person when he needs it, he takes increasing advantage of the service. For the Lawrence.Public Library, this can be considered the single most significant step forward for 1967 -,the strengthening of our informational services to the patron. Eventually, we \-rould hope to have a staff of at least 3 full time persons for the most consistent service, but the current availability of one and 3/4 persons is a marked improvement over the past. Thus, a major function of the public library is being built up - direct service to the public by professionally trained infonnation librarians. For years we have had a fine collection of materials and much better than average circulation of these materials. But we have lacked the trained staff who could be consist~ , ently available to interpret this collection to the public. . INTERLIBRARY LOA~;s. La\-trence continues to make use of the state-wide teletype service (Kansas Informational Circuit) in borrowing books for its patrons. In addition, in 1967 we began a week~ circuit of sending lists of reserved materials between here and Johnson County. Each week lists of books on reserve , - • • • • • • • • • • �Report To The Board of Directors -4for patrons are exchanged between the two libraries, each of which fills what it is able to for the other. This has worked out ver,y well, decreasing the wait for books by several weeks in many cases. Of course, this does not work for books such as best sellers, but has proved very useful for individual titles which are asked for in one area but not being used in another. Some 1$-20 books a week are exchanged by this method. · • Thanks go again this year to all of the staff for a job well done . Special thanks ~ 0 Mrs . Osma, whose excellent book selection throughout the years has made the collection one of the best in the state; to Mrs . Halfen, our Children's Librarian; Mrs. \'leeks, our bookkeeper; Hrs. Meyer, head of circulation and Mr. Anthony, our custodian, who somehow manages to consistently keep the library presentable and inhabitable - a formidable task. In summaiJr, new physical innovations in many areas "Till continue to be impractical due to space limitations. But new ways of doing old tasks can always be found . Our role in work~ng with other:; libraries brings new insight into such ways . Better library service will be the result of cooperative library practices. It is my • opinion that the future of top quali~y library service in Lawrence is excellent . With the continued support of the Board, the Staff and the City, I think we can look forward to a very high percentage of improved library service to patrons over the next few years. · " ,• • • • • Mayo Head Librarian Hayne , • • • • • • • • • • • • • • , • I • • •.,• .. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • - • • • • �• 1967 STATISTICS CIRCULATION • • • Adult Books . · Records Periodicals & Pamphlets Films 149,286 11,168 8,120 1, 067 • Juvenile Total 149,913 2,097 299,199 13, 265 8,120 l , o67 • ----- ----- The above represents a total increase in book circulation of 2,188.

Plans are to move periodicals into the west reading room by placing shelving around the walls and to thus free stack space in the main area. He discussed the recommendation that circulation of periodicals be discontinued as of October. After some discussion it was proposed that a detailed recommendation of such plan be presented to the Board at its next meeting. Mr. liayo mentioned the new vouchers ware in use and explained the new procedures of their handling. Summer Reading Program finished with 1,868 children participating and 985 completing the requirements to receive a reading certificate. �Minutes for Sept . , •68 cont ' d . - 2- Lawrence Free Public Librar,y Board Discussed was a ~orthcoming experiment to mail reserve books to patrons rather than req~re them to come into the library. Postage costs would approximate costs of the now-used postal notification and the patron would have the option to return the books in person or mail them back at the same low postal rate . Mr. Mayo brought up the new law requiring that all public employees attest to an oath declaring they will uphold the constitutions of the U. S. and the state of Kansas . Such must be done by January, 1969 for all employees . It was moved by Larry Flannery and seconded by Clark Coan that the 1969 budget be lowered from the previously requested $121, 778 to $117 , 828 in view of the amount granted by the City Commission . The specific item to be reduced was books which would be reduced to $19, 750 instead of the previously budgeted $23, 700. Mrs . Ulmer reported that her time would not permit her attendace at NEKL quarterly meetings as a representative of the Board . Chairman Stalcup then appointed James Drury as regular representative and Wayne Mayo as alternate representative . A discussion of the possible bond issue for a new library took place . It was felt that it was unlikely this item would appear on the ballot in November because of the time element . Howeve r, if such a possibility arose , the Board would be called to a special meeting to discuss whether it could realistically support such a late move due to the lack of preparation time now available . Bills totaling $ 9, 650 . 95 ($9 , 501. 07 for Lawrence Public Library and $149. 88 for NEKL) for August disbursements as well as bills for July of $12 , 399 . 90 ($9, 980 . 66 for Lawrence Public Library and $2 , !!19 . 24 for NEKL) were allowed by roll call .

Members present were: Chairman Max Stalcup, Clark Coan, Barbara Crews, James Drury and larry Flannery. Also present was Ofck Peters of Robertson, Peters, Harrison and Williams, architects. Hr. Peters evaluated the program presented by Mr. Clarence s. Paine of Nashville, Tennessee with comments on how he could interpret ft graphically for the Board. It was agreed by the Board members and the architect that the greatest deterrent to a schematic interpretation was the fact that a site has not been designated by the Commissioners. Max Sta 1cup directed t>~r. Peters to present the Board a scherr.at i c p 1an including site area and parking requirements for it so that t c Board might take this to the Commissioners and ask for a site designation.

Johnson County has loaned the Lawrence Library a 1963 station wagon with 70,000 miles at no cost other than gas and any major repairs. leRoy Fox of the Johnson County Library thought this would elimfnate NEKL bookkeeping and it will be used mainly by Mr. Mayo and Mrs. Murphy for NEKL reference work. Discussion followed on the communication the Board has received from various members of the oAR. Mr. Mayo explained that in the Fall of 1968 Whon shelving was ordered and the periodicals were schedule~ ~o be put in the magazine room he alerted the OAR librarian of the poss.bl1ity that there mfght not b~ room for the OAR books. In Janu~r~,. 1969, he contacted t~ DAR librarian again to advise her that the poss1b1l1ty was indeed a reality and the OAR library was removed from the shelves. The first of 1970 the library will have to remove approximately )00-400 books per month from the shelves and pay storage some place for them. Since the OAR col- �l~gical lectlon Is the onlY one not belonging to the Library ft seemed to remove it first. It was auggested by Larry Flannery that Chairman Stalcup write a letter to Mrs. Gladys Bremer, Vfce Regent of the DAR ; nf.,rmlng her that the Library would put the DAR co I lect ion back on shelves until January, 1970--at which time they would have to be pl e in storage. aced Coan Chairman Stalcup appointed James Drury, Jean Ulmer and Clark to the 1970 Budget Callllittee--James Drury chairing the cll!IIT11ttec. th Bills totaling 11,280.97 were allowed by roll call.

Other visitors included City Manager Buford Watson, Asst . City Manager Denny Kallesen & architect Don Robertson . The meeting was called to order. Discussion concerned the bids for the new library. Among the items discussed were the alternates to the contract, suggested deletions by the architect and the cost of carpeting.

Further, that we negotiate to provide for the following items : $ 6, 000 for landscaping, $ 4, 000 for a concrete floor in room 028 and $13 ,395 for a 2, 000 lb. capacity elevator. Also, that items 7, 10 and 15 as per attached list be included in the construction program . That item# ~ on this list, the parking lot, be deleted from the building contract with the understanding that the City will pay for this at a cost of $ 101 200. And, that the Library Board strongly recommends to the City Co~nission that the stone veneer in alternate G-2 be reinstated in the contract and that if necessary the Board could be responsible for landscaping which has been budgeted at a cost of $ 6, 000. Seconded by Larry Flannery. Motion carried unanimously. Note was made by the Board of a letter of acknowledgement from the family of Mr. A.B.

Present were: Chairman Clark Coan, James Drury, Skipper \villiams and Howard raseman. Also present were Asst . City Manager Dennis Kallesen and Wayne Mayo. Purpose of the meeting was to discuss methods of funding library operations for 1972 . James Drury reviewed the several possibilities available for funding for next year . He also discussed the legal problems involved as a result of the recent legislative session. It was felt that Senate Bill 23 takes the Librar,y out from under the tax lid , This would, said Dr. Drury allow the City to pass a charter ordinance taking us out from under KSA 12-1215 and yet allow the city to provide taxation of aproximately 2. 5 mills under its present budget arrangement. It was Dr. Drury's feeling that this was preferable to the Library ' s becoming a separate taxing unit. Mr. Kallesen discussed the timing factors involved in passing such a charter ordinance . One consideration was the potential problem which could arise i f a petition were presented opposing such an increase . Mr. Kallesen felt that if this did occur, the ce• rtifyi.ng of a budget for next year might be delayed past the legal time . In discussing the possibility of the library coming under 12-1215 discussion centered around the need to have reached 35,000 in time to certify a budget . Mr . Kallesen said it was the City Attorney's opinion that the census figure from the county would become official when it was certified on July 15th. The feeling was that we would reach 35, 000 at that time . If, however, we did not, the possibility of no-fund warrants was discussed. It was the feeling of Mr. Kallesen that perhaps the best solution was to certify under 12 -1215 for 1972 and then that the board request the Connnlssion early next year to pass a charter ordinance putting ~ back into the city budget for 1973 . The feeling of the members present was that this decision should be made by the full board at its regular meeting on the 18th of May. Meeting was adjourned.

The feeling of the Board was that ~ere were three likely alternatives which the Commission might consider. !, That a charter ordinance be passed immediately and become effective for the calendar year 1972. B. That the Library Board certify its own levy for 1972 under provisions of K. S. A. 12-121.5 & 12-1216 with the understanding that the Commission •ould pass a charter ordinance early next year to become effective for calendar year 1973. C. That no charter ordinance be passed and that the Library Board certify its own levy for 1972 and for subsequent years. p. t ?lll s B & C are, of course, predicated upon the assumption that Lawrence ~ll reach a population of at least 35,000 when the 1971 census is certified on July 15th. If alternatives B or C were taken and such population did not reach 35,000, it is our understanding that the Library would be forced to O!>erate in 1972 on no-fund warrants. ~~the Commission prefers either alternate A orB, the Library Board will , en be prepared to recommend certain i terns which it feels should be in1 BUded in such a charter ordinance such as the amount of millage the ~ard anticipates it will need to ~perate the larger library facility to C011Jpleted next year. · T'hank You for your consideration.

I .Man}' representatives sent by the New Engbnd Emigrant Aid Society were college trained and considered "a class of people largely composed of tlle best eduated and highest cultured classes of New ~ Eoglllnd and New York." \'V'hilc able to cope with numerous hardships, they were umvilling to deny themselves the ' customary books, magazines, and social conblcts left back East. Tht Kmuas Athmae11m, a literary dub, appointed a. Board of Regents to supply rooms, light, heat;, and custodial we for this early library venture. Mem· I bcrship fees ($1 per year or $25 for life) provided books and magazines. In the spring of 185.5, the first donation of a futload of books arrived from .Mrs. Mary Webb, of Boston, and Amos A. Lawrence, after whom the town was named. Lawrence had already begun to rise from a city of tents pitched mostly on the high grounds overlooking the Kansas and Wakarusa valleys, with a few scattered ovu the level bottoms. At the close of 1854, "the city conwned about fifty dwelling houses, some of shakes, some grass covered, some sod llld log, some of tarred canvas, and one l'1or two covered with oak. There were two ~~ding houses . . . a saw and pl:tning lllill ... a butcher shop and two stores." Pour religious societies were cst:a.b· lisbed. "The first school . . . commenced January 16, 1855." A census taken that February showed ~e "popuJation, 400; foreigners, 41; emales, 105. From Massachusetts, 90; ~ew York, 59; Pennsylvania, 38; balance rom the Western States." After Quantrill's sacking of Lawrence 10 1863, none of the original library's 'JtC\llat:ion records remained. Two ye.us Uter, ). S. Boughton, with 60 volwncs, ~~d the nucleus of a publk library tality. 1 This $150 collection was located in a small back room on the second floor of the Hn.rtman Building (73.5 Massachu· setts) . Books were loaned at ten cents a wc~k or $5 per year, and "frequently the supply was inadequate to the demand." Later, The Circulating Library moved to rooms over Leis Drug Store (740 Massa· chusetts), whid1 prov1ded "a. free reading room supplied with the leading periodicals of the day." As reading popuJarity increased, the number of volumes grew to nearly 1,000. But Boughton found the load too heavy. An 1866 Lawrence Library Association paid htm $600 for lease, fixtures, books, and hired u temporary librarian ($100 a qua.rter and 45 percent of fees) who was replaced in 1867 by Mrs. Helen Griswold, first permanent librarian. Membership fees (fifteen cents per week or fifty cents each month) were augmented by donations, lecture courses featuring such speakers as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Horace Greeley, or various soctal events and excursions. By 1871, the collection swelled to 1500 volumes and forty papers and lll!l8azines. The city council took over the association, paid outstanding debts, and moved the library to "the elegant and commodious rooms" in the Lawrence National Bank building (Massachusetts and Wmthrop (Seventh]). By 1902, the collection grew to 6,000 books "including works on philosophy, religion, natural science, fine acts, literature, fiction and young people's books, an excellent German collection and pictures, magazines, and newspapers." Patrons paid $1 per year which supplied the librarian's salary. City money provided facilities and maintenance. Appointed city librarian in 1902, Mrs. Nellie Griswold Beatty, applied her recent studies of library science to the cataJog108, collectins, and borrowing mctl1ods.

Unable to foresee the tndustrial swjtch from home oriented ~and looms to factory operated steam r_nach.in~, the family felt forced to auction thetr looms and furniture and move to ne~ opportunities in America. They ~ettled ID Allegheny City, a suburb of Psttsburgh, Pennsylvania. Andrew's formal education, begun at age dght, came to an end. He was 1;. Already influenced by poverty, he resolved to cure that when he got to be a man. "A keen sense of honor, independence, [and] self-respect pervaded the household," but the family's liberal-minded, dose-knit ties didn't put food on the table. Andrew's mother bound shoes to supplement the meager returns from tablecloths woven and sold door-to-door by his father. At that time, Andrew figured his family could Jive, without outside help, on $300 per year-$25 monthly. The elder Carnegie necessarily gave up hand loom weaving to enter the cotton factory where he obtained a position for Andrew at $1.20 per week. It was a hard life, working from dark to dark. "The hours hung heavily upon me and in the work itself I took no pleasure; but the cloud had a silver lining, as it gave me the f~ling that I was doing something for my world-our family. I have made millions since, but none of these millions gave me such happiness as my first week's earnings. I was now n helper of the family, a breadwinner, and no longer a total charge upon my parents. Stepping up a rung at a time, young Carnegie prospered at each job. His furtune grew to colossal industries involvsng railroads~ slec:ping cars, bridges, iron, and steel In 1901, he sold the Carnegie Steel Corporation to J. P. Morgan for nearly $500,000,000. .. number to rca w lle the others worked." "Perhaps Carnegie's library philanthropy was also inllucnced by his business background. He once told an audience that, far from being a philanthropist; he was making the best bargains of his life. For instance, when he gave a city money for library buildings, he su~ceded in obtaining a pledge ~at .the c•ty. wo~ld furnish sites and mamtarn the llbrarses forever. The city's investment was greater than his. 'This was not philanthropy bu a clever stroke of business.' " With these motivating factors, Andr<.~ Carnegie began his $56,162,622 library benevolence to 1,lj 12 communities (some received more than one library) in the United States and to 50 other En~lish­ speaking locations . . . 2,509 library build in~. • • "Genuine Photo" from the Postcard collection of Ch:uline Smith Fit:zp3trick. could take out, each Saturday afternoon, a book which could be exchanged for another on the succeeding Saturday."

"Books which it would have been impossible for me to obtain elsewhere ~ere, by rus wise generosity, placed withID my reach; and to him I owe a taste for literature which I would not exchange for all the millions that were ever amassed by man."

The idea sp~. becnme Kansas law in 1870, and pterally fell from favor as it proved units, money, and volumes too scant to 111aintain public inter~t. However, it laid the ~roundwork for further public library enabling laws which · cities or states to levy a tax r public libraries. This act pmed in •.ansas in 1886. Prevaling enablang laws were one criterion for a Carnegie gift. Each city, through the enabling laws, was ~pected to provide ten percent of the total con· tribution for yearly upkeep to guarantee new books, periodicals, newspaper subscriptions, repairs, alterations, insurance, aod salaries from librarian to janitor. 1his ten percent figure also furnished an mvestment insurance for Carnegie in that a city's population could supply sufficient, (l)Otinuing support. Each city needed to make provision for a generally accessible, locally approved itt, preferably with expansion possibilitieS. And city officials were required to ne.eotiations as opposed to indiIUiiU or library boards. Requests were seldom ,2ranted by perinterview, which resulted in volumfiles. These revealed from five to 100 documents per request, the 1m being thirty.

Some communities questioned whether Andrew Carnegie was helping educntion or developing mausoleums for himself. Occasionally, the library became such a heated, polittcal football, that numerous individuals within one community might write back citing different reasons for incomplete transactions. Never able to sort out their feelings to reach agreement, they simply used the issue 1lS a scapegoat for deciding against such generosity. Some library projects were simply abandoned. Some buildings stood unfinished. And some delayed openings for lack of books. No problems in granting a library were credited to lawrence. Only 29 percent of the libmrics used the Carnegie name, preferring the name of city and "Free Public Library." [Lawrence, at one time, listed the library telephone under "Free."] Busts or pictures of Carnegie, their usa~e optional, necessitated commercial purchase. It was understood that monies given for library buildin~ meant the structure would be used only for library purposes. Came&'{ie received unusual requests, to include areas for billiards, swimming pools, gymnasiums, coffee shops, or music halls, however. Although n present library mi~ht be a plus factor toward receiving a Carne~ie grant, it was not mandatory. Early efforts townrd community library facilities listed such original sites as a millinery shop, hospital, print shop, drug store, or even one rest room where the matron served as librarian. Carne.£ie wanted building exteriors plain and simple, and warned against Greek temples. Mlllly, he felt, wasted interior space in corridors, entrances, or The President Reports • • I • basements. Originally there were no architectural stipulations, but with the number of monstrosities being produced, tighter guidelines were esl:2blished in 1911-after more than half the libraries had been built. Nation-wide, Carnegie financed buildmgs now house everything from dress shops to mortuaries, (rom dance schools to antique stores, or from recreation departments to social welfare groups. Kansas received 59 Carnegie buildings in such diverse communities as Anthony, Independence, Wichita, Goodland, Olathe, Kansas City, and of course, Lawrence. Forty-nine of these remained in use in 1967 ( 44 in the original building, five with expansioru). Seven changed to non-library usage (three demolished and four listed other purpcses.) Three filed no report. Free PubUc IJbrary lawrence voters, by a large rmjority, approved the public library concept in 1903. Otarles P. Grovcnor donated two lots at Veanont and Warren [Ninth], wd the library officially opened December 26, 1904. By 1905, the library contained 6,000 volumes. Story hours, reference services, and library orientations were introduced through the years. In 1919, Miss Lillian J. Constant began her service as librarian, which reached toward, met, or maintained standards established by the American Library Association for Public Libraries.

"The library could use more such funds," .Miss Constant stated. "A fund for the new fiction shelf would be appreciated by a host of readers. New and beautiful editions of children's books arc always desirable but :ue out of the question. Gifts of subscriptions to maga· z.ines from organizations or individuals arc always welcome. The reference collection needs new additions to keep it up-to-date." "There may be others in this community who are planning a memorial for a loved one and if so" Miss Constant believed, "the mo~ey couid ?ot be put to better use, considering the mfiuence of a good book upon the lives of people, than to build u memorin.l of this sort by creating a book fund that shill go on doing for generations to come." Interest from funds of the late Gurdon Grovenor were used "to send the librarian and assistants to meetings of the State Library association lllld to maintain a good reference library." A 1928 report showed ''the library contained 21,869 volumes, and 124 magazim.'S and pcriodicnls." By 1936, "40 percent of the city's population were registered borrowers." Since then, additions doubled st:tck space, provided new offices and work areas, and realized a newsnapcr and mag:u.mc room. Phys1cal improvements ran the gamut of intenor redecoration, exterior cleaning, foundation reinforcement, air-condition· ing installation, :tnd parking provisions. Significantly, the Luwrcnce Parent Teacher Association began its summer rcacling program in 1942. Public access to the st.1c.ks came in 1947.

' The year 1963 was successful in several ways . T1ost noticeable was the increase in use o~ ne~rly all areas of the library . As statistics in the brochure sect~on 1ndicate , book circul~tion increased by 20 , 949 and circulation of all materials was up 25 , 674 . Several fnctors accounted for this increase . Among them were : 1 - Population increase . This generally produces an increase in registration and circulatlon . 2 - Increased efforts to obtain new registr.atlons . Over 400 l etters went out to new residents inviting them to use the libr1ry . Since all were adults , and presumably heads of families , probably over 1200 were reached by these letters . 3 - Fine support was given by the newspapers and radio station in helping the library publicize its facilities . 4 - Increased use of booklists , book displays , more convenient classification of lp records and inclusion of paperback books . Late in 1963 the circulation system was changed to provide more control over the routines of checking out and retrie ving books . All materials are no~ due on ThurJdays . A side effect of this change was to provide an increase in circulation, or so it would seem from a very limited observation . This change to a once-a- week due date is the first step in a more complete overhaul of the circulation system. A consideration at this time is in the area of an edge - punched card . Such a procedure Hould not only cut down on routine work but clear up the bottleneck f~om returned books during busy periods . Another innovation late in 1963 was the use of pre - printed post cards for first notices £or overdue books . This han saved much staff time and allowed workers to spend more of their time uorking \.Jith patrons . The library waz fort~~ate in finding a head for the adult department Miss Emily Hartman vras hired as of_S~ptamb~r 16 : Both tho Childronr s Librarian , f·1iss Koehler , and the Ass1s 'Ga!'l t L:tbrar:tan , !~s.

Space for books is olso becmning scarce, yet our collection increases at the rate of approximately three ~housand a year . In addition , as use increases , ~ore trained sbaff w1ll be needed to properly help patrons . A plan which has yet to be realized is the separation of a reference desk from the circulation desk . Ideally, such a reference desk should be staffed by a professional at all times when tho library is open . several plans are in process for the now year , including continuation of simplified methods of circulation , a more efficient charging system and numerous booklists on various subjects t-Jhich will be available at selected distribution points throughout the city . All appearances indicate that 1964 will see even more use of library facilities than did the past year . Hayne I1ayo , Librarian .
