REPORT OF CITY HOSPITAL
Some hospitals have two distinct collections, one a lending library for their private patients and the other a free collection for the wards. We find that our regular free service is patronized fully as much by the former group as it is by the latter.
The children, from five years of age and up, are eager, enthusi- astic readers. Their response to the story hour, which is conducted by the librarian when time permits, is heartening in its spontaneity.
The Hospital and Library co-operated with one another when arrangements were made whereby the hospital librarian divided her time equally between the Nurses' and the Patients' Libraries. It was this inter-relationship that made possible the cataloguing and classification of the former.
To the Hospital authorities and personnel for their unfailing co-operation, and to the patients for their gifts of magazines and books to augment our stock, we extend our sincere thanks.
Respectfully submitted, GERTRUDE HENRIKSON, Hospital Librarian Thomas Crane Public Library

REPORT OF CITY HOSPITAL
QUINCY CITY HOSPITAL GENERAL INFORMATION
We endeavor to make the hospital as homelike and informal as possible; however, in the interest of all patients, certain rules and regulations are obviously necessary.
ADMISSIONS
Patients to be admitted are requested to report at the Admitting Office, on Whitwell Street, before 4:00 P.M. on the day scheduled. If unable to keep the appointment, the Admitting Office should be notified by noon of that day. All out-of-city patients will submit a local doctor's diagnosis with their application for admission.
The Hospital maintains a Children's Ward for children up to fourteen years of age. Children are admitted as private room pa- tients only when a special nurse is in attendance.
Do not be annoyed when you are asked to make a deposit and to sign a "Guarantee of Payment" at the time of admission. The Quincy City Hospital in line with other hospitals, has had to adopt this principle to protect itself against the burden of bad debts and to insure that the patients who pay for their services will not be taxed for those who evade such responsibility. The admitting officer is unable to recognize all the many friends of this hospital and all the responsible citizens of this community. It is no reflection on your credit or standing, therefore, if you are asked to comply with this rule, we ask you to co-operate with us.
The physician's fee is not included in the hospital charges. With private patients this is a separate matter and should be ar- ranged with the physician. Patients on service are not expected to pay for physician's services.
DISCHARGES
Patients are to be discharged between the hours of 10:00 A.M. and 12:00 A.M .; 2:30 P.M. and 5:00 P.M., daily, Sundays and holi- days.
The hospital day begins and ends at 12 o'clock midnight.
VISITING HOURS
All visitors must enter and leave the hospital through the front entrance.
Visiting hours are:
1. For private room patients, from 11:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. (two visitors at a time).
2. For semi-private and ward-private patients, from 2:00 P.M. to 3:30 P.M., (two visitors) and from 7:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. (one visitor).
3. For service patients, 2:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M. (two visitors) and from 7:00 P.M. to 7:30 P.M. (one visitor).
260
CITY OF QUINCY
4. Visiting hours in the Children's Ward are from 2:00 to 3:00 P.M. on Wednesdays and Sundays only.
Patients on the "Danger List" are allowed two visitors at any time at the discretion of the physician.
Relatives may see the house physician daily at 3:00 P.M. by inquiring at the Information Desk.
Children are allowed to visit medical and surgical private room patients only.
