Report of Library Trustees
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of Rochester:
GENTLEMEN :- I have the honor to present the twenty-fifth annual report of the trustees of the Roch- ester Public Library, also the librarian's and treas- urer's report for the year ending December 31, 1918.
In submitting this annual report of the trustees, memory goes back to the days of the founding of the library, twenty-five years ago, and to the Board of Trustees, who gave freely of their time to lay well the foundations of an institution that has been intellect- ually, morally and socially a benefit to our city.
Of the original members of the Board of Trustees, four, William W. Allen, James Farrington, M. D., J. Edgar McDuffee, and Josiah H. Whittier, have closed the book of life, but their works remain to bless and benefit our city.
The needs of the library are many to keep it up to the standard it has attained, the increased cost of books and periodicals and other materials and the running expenses of the library are such that your trustees have not been able to meet the demands of the public as they would like to do, as, it has always been the purpose of the trustees to keep within the appro- priation, which was $4,200. The cost of maintaining
320 ·
ANNUAL REPORT
the branch library at Gonic, $89.22, comes out of the appropriation. In order to meet the demands of the library the trustees ask for an appropriation of not less than $4,500.
The trustees wish to acknowledge the bequest of Olive M. Woodward of $100.
The trustees wish to express their appreciation of the work done by the librarian, Lillian E. Parshley, during the twenty-five years of her service. The library is a monument to her faithfulness in her work and the city is to be congratulated on having a librarian who makes the library a part of her life.
The trustees also wish to express their appreci- ation of the courteous and efficient work which the librarian and her assistants have rendered the public during the year.
For the trustees,
JOHN YOUNG, Secretary.
Report of Librarian
To the Board of Trustees of the Rochester Public Library:
GENTLEMEN :- I herewith present the twenty-fifth annual report for the year ending December 31, 1918.
The question, as we again reach the end of a year of library history, is how little may we say and yet convey to those interested the pertinent and important facts, which should be made a matter of record. The most concise method of presenting the necessary facts, not only of this year's work but a general summary of the work for twenty-five years seems to be by the series of tables which are appended to this report and to which I hereby call your attention.
THE YEAR'S GROWTH
During the present year, 11 volumes have been destroyed or discarded; 390 volumes have been pur- chased at an expense of $531.57 an average, as you will note, of $1.36 per volume; 54 volumes of magazines have been bound, after serving their time on the read- ing tables and in circulation ; and. 354 volumes have been received as gifts. This makes a net gain of 787 and the estimated number of volumes in the library, 20,063.
BOOKS ADDED
In the purchase of books, in addition to the best
21
322
ANNUAL REPORT
of the war books, a few good novels and the most cheer- ful and entertaining stories to be found, as much at- tention as the finances would allow has been paid to the needs of school students, business men and women, young farmers or war gardeners and to home makers.
THE YEAR'S WORK
The deplorable decrease in the circulation is a source of much regret until one recalls the general rush for the last word from across the water, the reams of printed matter which have been literally de- voured, lest some vital thing escape the attention and beside which the most powerful and stirring imag- inative tale has seemed tame. When one remembers the busy hands of the women, the hours spent in knit- ting, sewing and all kinds of war work, the unaccus- tomed duties and cares of the period, one hardly sees how even 56,685 books could have been read or studied during the year. The decrease of 5,709 is not to be wondered at.
The agencies have each contributed their quota to the circulation of the year. Mr. Marsh reports 2,050 books given out at Gonic, Mrs. Elliott reports the circulation at East Rochester as 1,672, and the little agency established and cared for by Miss Bertha Allen at Walnut Grove has given out 407 books. The agencies as well as the main library were closed four- teen days in October during the epidemic of influenza.
This, as well as the shortening of the library day and the closing Sunday afternoon, have each had its effect on the number of readers for the year. The number as counted was 14,289. 5,751 less than re- ported last year.
4,292 of this decrease was in the children's room,
323
CITY OF ROCHESTER
the number of young readers during the year was 7,894. The number of books given out from this room was 15,893. Scarcity of new books and maga- zines and lack of interest in the stories which have stood the test of time are two of the problems which the assistant has to face.
Three of our young people have come splendidly to the rescue in their donations of books to this de- partment. Roland C. Foss gave 52 volumes, Richard McDuffee, 16 and Alfred Young, 11. All books which they had read and enjoyed and gladly passed on to the young readers of Rochester.
In addition to the large amount of routine work, guidance and assistance in reference work, clerical work, recopying of card catalogue and shelf list, mounting and arranging of pictures, preparation of scrap books, filing and binding pamphlets and clip- pings, an inventory of the entire library has been taken by accessions.
There has been no change in the policy of the library but an extreme effort has been made to keep the library in the minds of the people and to extend in every way possible a knowledge of its contents and use- fulness.
WAR TIME SERVICE
During this war time period the library has gladly done what it could. It has brought to the attention of visitors in various ways all government requests and information; has collected about 800 volumes for the camp libraries and sent them on to camps or to France as ordered or directly to the boys by messenger, when- ever an opportunity presented itself. It has compiled brief records of the Rochester boys in service for tem-
324
ANNUAL REPORT
porary use, pending the turning over to the library the records of the local historian; has preserved all lists and valuable material relating to Rochester's part in the war; has gladly opened its doors as a meeting place for war committees or public gatherings, and for a few months, one of the rooms was used as headquar- ters of the Home Service department of the Red Cross. It has obtained, bound and put into circulation, gov- ernment, school and college pamphlets as aids to food conservation.
GIFTS
The library has received in addition to the gen- erous contribution of books, curios, pictures, stere- oscopic views, foreign post cards, and minerals, a gift of $100 from the late Olive Maria Woodward to add to our small amount of invested funds. We sincerely wish that some of the generous citizens of Rochester would see to it, that all the available money for the benefit of mankind does not go out of Rochester, that some of it be kept at home to assist in keeping up the morale of our own boys and girls. The public library could use any amount to good advantage.
The late Mr. J. Edgar McDuffee, secretary of the Board of Trustees in 1894, said in his summing up of the first year's work, that "two things had been made apparent by the instant rush of patronage, first-that there had been a crying need of such an institution in Rochester, the other that the amount of money devoted to the enterprise was not adequate." Later Mr. Mc- Duffee said, "it would not be easy to feed the people of Rochester with the amount of money allowed for the support of the library" neither "would it be easy to
325
CITY OF ROCHESTER
provide good streets and sidewalks for the same price, yet with this amount we strive to furnish mental sus- tenance and to smooth to the feet the path of know- ledge."
As we trace the history of the library through the twenty-five years and note the small number of books added and the large circulation, this fact is made evi- dent again and again, the inadequacy of the supply to the demand. However from the very modest but care- ful beginnings of 1893 has grown the public library of today, an institution made possible by the people for the people, and we trust a very important factor in the civic life of Rochester, second only to the public schools. supplementing and making even these more valuable.
At this close of the twenty-fifth year, our mood should not be one of retrospection, the library is still young and has much to accomplish, the past must speak for itself, and the possibilities of the future are unending.
It is not only my privilege but my duty to speak at this time of the very important part which the assistants have played in the history of the library. There have been many assistants and their faithful and conscientious work has been not only a support but an inspiration to the librarian. I would also speak of my gratitude to the assistants of today, Miss Went- worth, Miss Foss and Miss McCrillis whose cheerful co-operation in the work of the year has never failed.
To the trustees, also the librarian would once more express her appreciation of their consideration and kindness.
Respectfully submitted,
LILLIAN E. PARSHLEY,
December 31, 1918.
Librarian.
