 HANDBOOK OF THE 
 EXHIBIT 
 
 The exhibit of the American Library 
 Association is intended to illustrate in a 
 general way the work that American li- 
 braries are doing today, rather than to 
 show the process of evolution or the his- 
 tory of the library movement since its 
 great acceleration in 1876. 
 
 Libraries in all parts of the United 
 States and Canada have contributed to 
 the exhibit, which has been arranged 
 to present all phases of the work, and 
 grouped according to the classes of li- 
 braries represented, as indicated on the 
 plan.

Section I. Library of Congress. 
 
 This exhibit has been brought together and arranged by the Library of 
 Congress. It consists of the following: 
 
 1. Publications of the Library from 1897 to date. 
 
 These publications are not for distribution. They can be 
 examined on application to the assistant in charge of the exhibit. 
 
 2. Catalog of works in the Library relating to Bibliography, Library 
 
 Economy, Printing and Bookbinding. I. Dictionary catalog. 
 II. Systematic catalog. 
 
 These catalogs are designed to show the resources of the Library 
 of Congress on the subjects named and to illustrate the use of its 
 printed catalog cards in dictionary and systematic catalogs. The 
 cards here exhibited represent only books which are classified in 
 Bibliography and Library Science (Class Z). Books classed in 
 other subjects, which relate in part to Bibliography and Library 
 Science, are not represented. Title entries have been included in the 
 dictionary catalog only in the case of cards printed since January, 
 1912, as previous to that date the title entry was not indicated on 
 the cards. 
 
 3. Collection of the blanks and forms used in the Library of Congress. 
 
 Classified according to the Divisions in which the blanks and 
 forms are used.

 especially interested can obtain a copy on application to the assistant 
 in charge of the exhibit. 
 
 Section II. College, School, Reference and Special libraries. 
 
 a . College and University libraries. 
 
 These libraries have made valuable contributions to the bibli- 
 ographical material of the country, and contain some of the finest 
 special collections in the New World, such as: The Child collection 
 
of folklore and ballads at Harvard, the Icelandic collection at Cor- 
 nell, the Scharf collection on the Civil War at Johns Hopkins, the 
 Colwell collection of Bibles at Chicago University, the Hopkins col- 
 lection on Railroads at Leland Stanford Junior University, etc. 
 
 They are primarily active working libraries for the use of the 
 faculty, graduates and students, and are usually accessible to others 
 engaged in research. 
 
 In a number of colleges and universities, lectures on bibliography 
 and the use of the library are given by the librarian or a member 
 of the library staff, e. g. y Cornell University, Oberlin College. 
 
 b. School libraries. 
 
 High schools are, as a rule, supplied with libraries, but as yet 
 few of them have trained librarians who give their whole time to 
 administration. In many schools a teacher fills the office of librarian. 
 The unsatisfactoriness of this arrangement is beginning to be felt, 
 and a very active movement is on foot to establish the office of high- 
 school librarian and make the library a more vital factor in the 
 school. 
 
 In the most progressive schools, the librarian gives instruction 
 to the students in the use of the library. In the State of New 
 Jersey, a recent law has put the high-school libraries largely under 
 the State Library Commission. 
 
 The grade schools (elementary and intermediate) very often 
 have class-room libraries, partly of books for supplementary reading, 
 partly of books for recreational reading. These belong, in some 
 cases, to the schools, in others, to the public library, which changes 
 the selection at intervals. 
 
 c. Reference libraries. 
 
 The reference library independent of any other institution, 
 such as a college or university, is not common in the United States. 
 Such libraries are almost without exception endowed and under 
 semi-private control. There is usually a public library in the same 
 town, with which the reference library co-operates, doing for it the 
 service of a reference department. The reference department of the 
 New York Public Library, while a part of that library, is separately 
 supported and by private funds, while equally open to the public 
 with the circulation department. 
 
 The Grosvenor Library, Buffalo, New York, the Watkinson 
 Library, Hartford, Connecticut, and the Hackley Library, Muske- 
 gon, Michigan, are examples of this type of library. 
 
 d. Special libraries. 
 
 Within the last ten years, the special library, i. e. t the library 
 confined to a special subject or group of subjects, provided by a firm 
 or corporation, for the use of its members or employees, has be- 
 come prominent. Mills, factories, laboratories, manufactories, and 
 commercial houses, have begun to establish collections of this kind 
 and the movement is extending rapidly. A Special Library Associa- 
 
 5 
 
tion has been formed, with an organ called Special Libraries , issued 
 monthly. These libraries are still in the experimental stage, and no 
 common methods of administration have yet been agreed upon — 
 indeed, in view of their purely business use and their private im- 
 portance, there may never be much uniformity. Their usefulness, 
 however, has been fully demonstrated in many cases. Good examples 
 of such libraries are those of Stone & Webster and the Arthur D. 
 Little Co., Boston, Massachusetts. 
 
 Section III. Public Libraries. 
 
 The public library of the United States has been so fully 
 described and explained in various languages that it is unnecessary 
 here to enlarge upon its scope and use. In 1908 there were 2,298 
 public libraries in the country, of more than 5,000 volumes each, 
 which exist largely for the purpose of circulating books, though 
 nearly all have books kept for consultation and are at the service of 
 scholars and of students of all grades. The following diagram 
 shows the usual gradual development of the public library from a 
 simple circulating collection.

In many public libraries the reference collection differentiates 
 into collections of periodicals, of government documents, of books 
 in applied science, in art, etc. The open shelf-room, now almost 
 universal, contains books that circulate, on shelves open to the 
 public, so that the choice of books may be made from a large 
 number and through examination of the book itself rather than 
 through the catalog. 
 
 For books and articles on the work of the public library, see 
 the bibliography appended to this handbook. 
 
 Section IV. Children’s room. 
 
 The security of a democracy lies in the intelligence of its people, 
 hence the necessity, not only of public schools but of public libraries. 
 The book must be early recognized as a necessity, and resort to it 
 must be begun at an early age in the life of the future citizen. 
 Inasmuch as books exist in the homes of but few families and the 
 school libraries are extremely limited in size, the public library for 
 some twenty years past has been providing separate rooms, separate 
 collections, and special administration for children. A large part of 
 the education of those who are in part, at least, self-educated is 
 gained in the children’s room, in which books on all subjects and 
 many books of educational value are shelved, as well as the fairy 
 tale and story-book. Perhaps no part of the public library con- 
 tributes so much to general culture as this department, since the 
 ideas and knowledge absorbed in childhood make the deepest im- 
 pression, are most fully assimilated, and are sought without com- 
 plexity of motive, for the joy of knowing. Picture bulletins, posters, 
 story-telling and annotated lists are all used to lead children 
 to good and interesting books, and the children’s rooms are made 
 attractive with furniture of suitable size, pictures, casts, growing 
 plants, etc. 
 
 Some library schools offer special training for candidates who 
 have had the general training and who wish to become children’s 
 librarians. 
 
 Section V. Extension work with children. 
 
 Extension work covers all work carried on outside of the library 
 building. Some work with the schools is of this character, and the 
 term covers as well club-work with boys and girls, home-libraries, 
 and the telling of stories or reading aloud in schools, settlements, and 
 other places, by the children’s librarians. Work has also been done 
 in some places with messenger-boys, who must be on call and cannot 
 come to the library and who spend their hours of enforced waiting 
 in reading at the telegraph office the books provided by the library, 
 and with others similarly situated. 
 
 Section VI. Library architecture. 
 
 "■This exhibit is chiefly one of plans and elevations, with a model 
 of a city branch library. 
 
 The tendency in the small library is at present away from the 
 
 7 
 
stack-room and the closed shelf, toward the open-shelf collection 
 arranged around the walls, a consequence of the more liberal attitude 
 toward the public adopted within the last fifteen years. The larger 
 the library, however, the more necessary becomes the separation into 
 open and closed-shelf collections and the stack-room for storage. 
 
 Single-room buildings have been erected, requiring fewer per- 
 sons to supervise, in small places or as branches in cities. The 
 general tendency, however, is still to plan for at least three rooms, 
 one for the circulating books, one for reference work and one for the 
 children and their books, although the divisions between the rooms 
 may be marked by low rather than high partitions. The auditorium 
 is an adjunct in many towns, and is put to constant use, bringing 
 many to the library and leading those to the use of it who* might 
 otherwise have ignored it. When lectures are given, the library 
 almost invariably prints or posts a list of what it contains on the 
 subject of each lecture. 
 
 The central library and branch system is in use in most cities, 
 with general administration from the centre, and a measure of local 
 autonomy at the branch. The planning of a branch building depends 
 largely upon the value of land, the shape and size of the lot, and the 
 nature of the physical environment. A branch building which can- 
 not extend horizontally must extend vertically, hence the three 
 or four-story buildings in some cities. 
 
 Section VII. Commissions, Associations, Clubs, Periodicals. 
 
 a. Commissions. 
 
 Thirty-six of the forty-eight States have library commissions, 
 with members appointed by the Governor and serving without 
 salary, except in the case of the secretary and the organizer, i. e. t 
 the officer who helps to organize or reorganize any library in the 
 State, on call. 
 
 In addition to their organizing work, the commissions help to 
 arouse interest in communities needing libraries, give advice, instruc- 
 tion, and in some States financial aid, provide systems of traveling 
 libraries for use by study-clubs, by individuals, and by isolated 
 communities, conduct summer courses in library management and 
 technique for untrained librarians already holding positions, act as 
 clearing-houses for duplicate books and periodicals, and publish 
 bulletins of news concerning the libraries of the State. In several 
 States, the libraries of State institutions have been put under the 
 library commission, and in one State the libraries of high schools 
 are under commission jurisdiction. 
 
 b. Associations. 
 
 1. National. The American Library Association was founded 
 in 1876 and has held annual meetings since that date in various parts 
 of the United States and Canada. In the years 1893 and 1904, the 
 years of the Columbian and of the Louisiana Purchase expositions, the 
 meeting took the form of an international congress and was held 
 in Chicago and in St. Louis, the exposition cities. The Association 
 
 8 
 
publishes Proceedings, a Handbook, a Bulletin, a monthly Book-list 
 for small libraries, and numerous books and pamphlets on pro- 
 fessional subjects. 
 
 2. State. Thirty-seven States have library associations, meeting 
 once a year, in different parts of the State, the sessions ranging in 
 length from one day to a week. In addition to general papers, there 
 are reports of working committees and round tables to discuss 
 informally specific branches of the work. At these meetings the 
 social side is emphasized and much is acquired through personal 
 conversation and discussion by those attending. 
 
 c. Clubs. 
 
 Clubs are more local than associations, and meet oftener, 
 usually five or six times a year, in one city and its suburbs or in a 
 group of towns near together. Of late, there has been a tendency 
 to make the club a working body, like the State association, instead 
 of a passive body for the purpose only of listening to papers. The 
 New York Library Club, e. g., now has twelve committees reporting. 
 
 d . Periodicals. 
 
 The following conspectus shows the history of library periodicals in the 
 United States: 
 
 Title Place of Publication Dates 
 
 Library Journal (mo.) New York . .1876 to date 
 
 Library Notes Boston 1886 to 1898 
 
 Public Libraries (mo.) 1 Chicago . . . .1896 to date 
 
 Bulletin of Bibliography (qtly.) . Boston April, 1897 to date

 Special Libraries (mo.) Indianapolis. 1910 
 
 1 Not published during August and September. 2 Merged with Library Journal in 1912. 
 
 Section VIII. Library Schools. 
 
 The first library school was established at Columbia College, 
 New York City, in January, 1887, and since that time the value 
 of instruction in library work has been increasingly recognized. 
 Twelve library schools have been established in different sections 
 of the country for instruction in cataloguing, classification, admini- 
 stration, bibliography, reference work, book selection, and the 
 general principles underlying library work. Students from Australia, 
 Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Holland, Norway, 
 Sweden, etc., have taken advantage of the opportunity to receive 
 systematic training in the American library schools, and graduates 
 in active service are distributed throughout the United States and 
 hold positions in other countries, notably Canada, Norway, Sweden, 
 and Denmark. 
 
 Lists of these schools may be found appended to the chapter 
 on Training for Librarianship,* published by the Publishing Board 
 of the American Library Association.
