INTRODUCTION. 0 a'?' 1 \'3 dBl.- The principal purpose of this list is to help book committees in small ' libraries. The books for the very small libraries must be purchased , with the utmost care. With so few books that it is difficult to supply ■ the demand, nearly all the books must be popular with the mass of readers, and the average cost must be small. On the other hand, un- - wholesome books must be carefully excluded and too cheap editions must be avoided. In selecting the books for this list the officers of the Commissions have been guided largely by experience. They have omitted all books of whose wholesomeness they have any doubt, and have accepted those that the experience of the larger proportion of- small libraries has shown to be popular with most readers. The list includes about 1,200 titles. The books most desirable for first purchase have been designated by asterisks. Less than 500 titles are so marked. Some otherwise excellent books have been omitted because they will not stand ordinary library wear. - A few classes, such as biography, useful arts, and travel, have been Tj maae very full because of the general interest in such works. The interests of each community must be considered, and only books that will be used should be bought. In some cases, classes which have very few entries will need to bo extended. The Commission will send additional lists upon request, and will issue occasional bulletins of bibliography to supplement this list. These supplementary lists will include some of the more expensive works which have been omitted from this selection, but which may be added as the funds of the library ificrease. On page 10 will be found a list of further aids in book selection. Buying lists of new books will be issued by the Commission at frequent intervals. SELECTING BOOKS. If a public library, supported by tax, is to receive and merit public support, it must have books that give pleasure. If it is to hold the esteem of the community, and so win continued support, the books must be wholesome and their reading must give sane views of life, good inspirations and reliable information. Each new library must build up its own patronage by giving untrained readers the best of the most popular books and then leading them gradually from good books \ D‘^'5 ^ 4 SELECTING BOOKS. to better. The reading habit must precede the habit of studying, and the librarian in a small town should be well satisfied, if, in the first two years of the work, she can get the masses to come to her library habitually to get books to read for pleasure, and if she has a few students. A few books for reference and a few more books for stu¬ dents should then be added and more care taken to develop students from readers. Children's books .—The work of a public library is measured largely by its usefulness to the children of the community. Fortunately there are so many books for them that are both wholesome and intensely interesting that a small library need have no third-rate volumes on its shelves. The libraries which have a good supply of the books for the young by such writers as James Baldwin, Howard Pyle, Kate Doug¬ las Wiggin, Edward Eggleston, Sara Orne Jewett, and the best of the books by others like Louisa M. Alcott and Charles Carleton Coffin, need take no books by Alger, Optic, Henty, Ellis, J. T. Trowbridge, Castle- mon nor any of such series as the “Elsie,” “Pansy” and “Prudy” books. Boys love and need stories of adventure, but when we have good biographies of Washington, Lincoln, Paul Jones, Livingstone, and stirring narratives like those of Treasure Island and Men of iron, it is not necessary to take any indifferent books in the very small library, and in the larger ones even the best of such writers as Stoddard and Munroe may be used sparingly. An occasional book of a'n author who depends largely upon very exciting incidents to maintain interest may do no harm, may even serve a useful purpose, but a liberal course of such reading is detrimental. Editions .—A very small library should have a somewhat large pro¬ proportion of books by the older authors, commonly called “standard.” As there are many editions of the best of such works, and as most of the cheap editions are very poor, book committees should be very careful in selecting the editions as well as in selecting the titles. To order simply Arabian nights in a cheap edition may bring a copy that is so poorly made as to be almost valueless, or a full translation that is thoroughly objectionable. In making this list an effort has been made to select the must satis¬ factory of the inexpensive editions of the standard authors. In the case of libraries having more means it will sometimes be found better to buy more expensive editions. In buying the copyrighted books of the list there is usually no choice. In buying books in science, po¬ litical and social economy, and the useful arts, book committees should buy recent books and, the latest editions of standard works. ORDEKING. Special care should be taken in ordering and buying the first pur¬ chases. A number of copies of the list of books selected should be made. These lists should give for each book the name of the author, the title, the publisher, and the price, in the form in which they are given in this OEDEKING AND EECEIVING BOOKS. 5 Suggestive list, alphabetically arranged. Sufficient space should he left on both margins so that the dealer will have room to check and enter prices. In writing orders do not crowd lines and leave space on both mar¬ gins. The following is a model order in the form which we suggest: Smith & Smith, 161 Front St., Gentlemen: Please send to the Public Library at-, -, the following hooks, shipping by-railway: Alcott. Little women .Little $1 50 Carlyle. Heroes and hero worship....McClurg 1 00 Churchill. Richard Carvel . Macmillan 1 50 Irving. Life of Washington, 5 vols., Hudson ed.Putnam 3 75 Vaile. Sue Orcutt . Wilde 1 50 Westcott. David Harum .Appleton 1 50 Yours very truly, (Miss) Grace R. Wheat, Librarian. Copies of this list should he sent to a number of reputable dealers and they should he asked to hid with the assurance that the one giving the lowest prices on the editions specified shall have the order. A copy of the order should he kept in the library on slips, and an exact copy of the order as it is sent to the dealer. After the book com¬ mittee has become familiar with discounts and library editions, it will not be necessary to secure bids for every list but to trust to honorable and fair treatment from a regular dealer. In towns where there are intelligent dealers it is often advisable to buy through them and to allow them small commissions for their trouble. The librarian and the members of the book committee should know the lowest prices at which the books can be purchased. The books marked net in this list are sold to libraries at a discount of 10 per cent. On other books the discounts will vary from the usual 33 1-3 per cent, to 60 per cent, on the volumes in Burt’s Home Wbrarg and certain similar series. RECEIVING THE BOOKS. When the dealer receives the order he may find that he has many of the books in stock. He will send these at once and order the re¬ mainder from the publishers. In this case the second box or package will probably arrive at the library from fifteen to twenty days later than the first. Sometimes books are temporarily “out of print” and the dealer will inform the librarian and ask for instructions. It is usually better to strike such books from the order and put the titles in a subsequent order, as those which are sent singly, as they come to the dealer, are received by express, or by mail at postage rates. There is wise economy in having the dealer prepay express charges on small consignments, including the amount in the bill. 6 BOOK-BUYIJs^G. When an invoice of books is received, the books should be checked by the bill and copy of the order to see whether the editions and the prices correspond with the bid. Volumes which are imperfect through the carelessness of the binder, as when pages are repeated or omitted, leaves badly torn, or covers put on upside down, should be sent to the publishers by express, charges unpaid^ The publishers will then send new and perfect copies at their own expense. Any reputable publisher will cheerfully make such an exchange of books, even when an imperfect copy has been stamped and loaned a number of times. Books received in bad condition, shelf-worn, soiled, or damaged, should be returned to the dealer from whom they were purchased. BUYING FKOM AGENTS. New libraries are constantly importuned by book agents and pub¬ lishers to buy expensive sets of books. The experience of most small libraries proves that very few sets of large volumes are much used. Those that are necessary can ordinarily be purchased from the dealers at a considerable discount from the price made by the book agents. Many libraries have a rule prohibiting purchases, from book agents. No books should be bought from them until correspondence with rep¬ utable dealers and the Commission has proved that the books are worthy and that lower prices can not be obtained. Agents may deserve pecuniary assistance, but public officials should give charity from their private purses and not from the public treasury. PURCHASE OF SETS. As to the works of standard authors, it is not necessary to buy com¬ plete sets. An incomplete set may be completed as opportunity arises or occasion requires. A very small library will need only a few of the best works of each author. When there is a choice of bindings plain and substantial ones should be selected. Good cloth bindings will last for years, and when worn the books may be rebound in half¬ leather for less than the difference in price at the bookstores between the cloth bound nopy and the leather bound copy. When books fall into pieces sooner than they should, on account of poor sewing, too heavy paper or any defect of paper or binding, send a temperate, lucid statement oT the fact to the publishers and to the Commission. now TO CARE FOR THE BOOKS. When new books are received they should be compared with the slip or sheet copy of the order anid checked with the bill, as noted above, and in large orders the price may be penciled in the book itself on the inner margin of the first right hand page following the title page. They should be held flat and pressed open firmly and carefully in sev¬ eral places; examined for missing or injured pages; cut throughout to BOUXD PEBIODICABS. 7 avoid tearing by an impatient reader; marked with the library stamp on the title page and on one other page (the number of which shall be the same in all books); accessioned; classified; labelled and marked on the back (use Dennison’s gummed labels, plain white, and Higgins’ American India ink) ; pocketed and prepared for the charging system previously selected; shelf-listed or catalogued, or both, on cards. (For full directions see the Commission Hand-hook.) New books should always be exhibited in the library, so that readers may see them all. They should also be noted in the daily or weekly newspapers. BOUND PERIODICALS. VALUE OF PERIODICALS. For little more than the expense of binding, libraries may acquire invaluable material for reference work. If a library cannot afford to bind, the magazines may still be made very convenient for use by tying them neatly into volumes, arranged by volume and number, not by year and month. The 8t. Nicholas, Harper's round table, and Youth's com¬ panion will be found invaluable in work for the schools, the Forum and North American review for high school debating societies, the Century and Harper's monthly for travel, history, art, and literature clubs. CLEARING HOUSE FOR PERIODICALS. In the hope of helping libraries to build up reference collections of magazines, the Commissions of Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin have es¬ tablished clearing houses ror periodicals. It is the purpose of these clearing houses to supply volumes or parts of volumes needed by li¬ braries to complete sets. In return the libraries are expected to send all duplicates to the Commission, that other libraries may be likewise benefited. HOW TO BENEFIT BY IT. In making a list, the librarian should designate with accuracy the magazines wanted. It is well to give not only volume and number, but also date of publication. In case of complete volumes, the dates covered should be indicated, of single numbers, the several dates; for example. Century,, v. 40, May-Oct, 1890. Century, v. 41, no. 3, Jan., 1891. Exchanges will be made by freight unless otherwise ordered, the Commission paying for transportation of all material received, and sending to libraries freight unpaid. COLLECTING PERIODICALS. A systematic collecting of periodicals should be made in every town. Librarians will find that a great amount of material will be discovered by advertising the needs of their libraries through the newspapers, the women’s clubs, and the young people of the high school. The house- 8 BOUND PEKIODICAUS, INDEXES. cleaning season is an especially good time to make an appeal. Adver¬ tise in the paper that on a certain day collectors will call at every door for contributions of periodicals. It will be easy to find a boy with a cart glad to give his services to the library for the day. VALUE OF INDEXES. As working aids the periodicals would be practically worthless but for the indexes. They make accessible material not to be found in other sources, also much that is available elsewhere, presented in a condensed, brief form, convenient for ordinary uses. The indexes save duplication of many books, indispensable to the li¬ brary, first published in magazines—such as Nicolay and Hay’s Life of Lincoln, Wheeler’s Alexmider the Great —and a long list that might be mentioned. 1 PERIODICAL INDEXES FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY.
