minutes of the January meeting which had been previously mailed to the Board were
sporoved .

Jim Williams presented an Inst allation Schedule to the Board .

A copy is attached to
the minutes . Mr. Mayo noted July 22 as book moving process begins and August 22 as
col!IPletion of book moving . He feels this oeriod of one month does not seem advisable
as this would mean operating at two locations . It would seem that a better process
~uM be to close the library for approximately one week to enable a complete move .

caroet samples were shown again with discussion about taking the next low bid which
wuld be a $2 , 700 incr ease in cost. The City will need to be advised of the decision
or the boar d to change companies . A motion was made by Larry Flannery, seconded by
Stlpper Williams that the Fir th Carpet be accepted over the Kentile Caroet because of
lack of fur nishing a further sample showing the quality of appearance with proper color
md texture . The ~otion carried unanimously. The motion is based on the agreement of
the City to release the above stated funds of $2 , 700 .
~e

reported on a Meeting of Representatives of Boards of the City sponsored by
t~ Kiwanis Club .
The purpose of this meetin~ was to form a plan whereby the local
High School Yout h would be represented by Junior and Senior Class members to the various
City Boards and Civic Groups . This would be a learning experience with an effort made
on the part of the Youth to convey to the High School Groups the workings of these various boards, such as the Library Board of Directors . A motion was made by Skinper Willia~, seconded by Howard Wiseman, that a non- voting member of the High School Youth be
invited to attend the Library Board I~eeting . The motion carried unanimously.

Library Grows from 60 Volumes

In October, 18}4, witrun two montl1s
• after the September 18 founding of Law1 rroce, the new settlers began planning a
lihr:uy.
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.

The Carnegie Era

Andrew Carnegie, son of a damask
weaver of Dunfermline, Scotland, ~as
born in 1835. 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&lt;.~
Carnegie began his $56,162,622 library

received more than one library) in the
United States and to 50 other En~lish­
speaking locations . . . 2,509 library

Every day's toil md even the long

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,

Each city needed to make provision
for a generally accessible, locally approved

Occasionally, the library became such

write back citing different reasons for incomplete transactions. Never able to

they simply used the issue 1lS a scapegoat

library should have," and during her
twenty-eight year tenure, developed the
clipping file on these histories.
.Also during her years of service, sev·
era1 sizable gifts to the libmry were invested and the income used to purchase
books. "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 Lawrence Public Library advanced
from printed pages to include record
collec.tions, movie ftlms,, and type cassct- l

Thtrty·SIX percent of the registered
