Since the organization of the United States Bureau of Education in 1867 statistics of public libraries have appeared periodically in the annual reports. It has been the purpose to gather such statistics every five years, but it has not been possible to carry out the plan with perfect regularity. For forty years every annual report of the bureau has given information relating to college and school libraries, the number of bound volumes, the number of pamphlets, and the approximate value of each library being the usual limit of such annual statistics. In 1870 the annual report contained a list of 161 large libraries, not including school or college libraries. In 1872 the annual report had a list of 1,080 libraries of more than 1,000 volumes each. The first comprehensive library statistics were collected in 1875. That year a special effort was made to gather information concerning all libraries having over 300 volumes. The list, as printed in the report for 1875, included 3,648 libraries, and of these 2,039 had 1,000 volumes or over. In 1876 the Bureau of Education published a monumental report of about 1,200 pages under the title "Public Libraries in the United States of America: Their History, Condition, and Management." The statistics collected the preceding year were included in this volume. It was not until 1884 that another special effort was made to collect statistics of all libraries. That year the annual report had a list of 5,338 libraries having 300 volumes and over, and 2,988 of these had 1,000 volumes or more. The library statistics for that year were reprinted in a separate pamphlet of about 100 pages. In 1886-87 a chapter of the annual report, covering about 70 pages, included a list of 1,779 libraries. The Bureau of Education published in 1893 a circular of informa- tion of 20,000 copies, covering 213 pages, giving detailed statistics of 3,503 libraries having 1,000 volumes and over. The material printed required two years for preparation, the statistics having been collected for the year 1891. The bureau published also in 1893 an edition of 20,000 copies of the " Catalogue of the A. L. A. Library : 5,000 Volumes for a Public Library Selected by the American Library Association and Shown at the World's Columbian Exposition." This volume filled about 600 pages and several subsequent editions were printed. 5 6 STATISTICS OF PUBLIC, SOCIETY, AND SCHOOL LIBEAEIES. The annual report for 1892-93 included the papers prepared for the American Library AasQeiation for its annual meeting held at Chicago in 1893 and read before the World's Library Congress at the Cohimbian Exposition. One of the most useful library publications issued by this bureau is Cutter's " Rules for a Dictionary Catalog." It was printed ux 1876 as Part II of the special library report for that year. Since that date several revised editions have been printed. Statistics of public, society, and school libraries were printed in the report for 1895-96, embracing 4,026 libraries of 1,000 volumes and over. Another chapter of the same report contained a synopsis of all library legislation in the various States up to that time. A reprint of the two chapters was published in a separate pamphlet. In 1900 the number of public, society, and school libraries having 1,000 volumes and over had grown to 5,383. In the report for that year were published the statistics of these libraries. This chapter was also separately printed, and in 1903 another edition of the same ' was published, together with the chapter on library legislation from the report of 1895-96. Another important chapter in the report for 1900 was the report of the committee of the National Educational Association on the relation of public libraries to public schools. To meet the demand for the latest library information to be dis- tributed at the St. Louis Exposition, library statistics were again coUeeted by this bureau in 1903. The list for that year contained the names of 6,869 libraries of 1 ,000 volumes and over. The limited time allowed for the collection and tabulation of the library statistics for 1903 will account for the imperfections of that compilation. A large number of librarians failed to respond to the request for statistics, making it necessary in their case to include in the 1903 tabulation the statistics of 1900. This led to many dupli- cations where there had been consolidations or changes of name or location. STATISTICS FOR 1908. Before beginning the work of collecting library statistics for 1908, conferences were held with representative librarians regarding the scope of the inquiry. It was determined not to include in the list to be published any library from which a report for that year could not be obtained. There had been such increase in the number of staaU libraries that it was deemed inadvisable to publish the names of aU libraries having 1,000 volumes and over as in former years, but to limit the list to libraries having 5,000 volumes and over. It is believed that the number of publie, society, and school libraries having 1,000 volumes and over is in excess of 8,000. STATISTICS OF PUBLIC, SOCIETY, AND SCHOOL LIBRAEIES. 7 Every effort was made to secure the names of all the libraries established since 1903. The various state library commissions reported additional lists. These, together with the names of all libraries known to this bureau to have over 300 volumes, reached an aggregate of 15,634. In May, 1908, the general statistical schedule was sent to all these libraries. The number of prompt responses to the inquiry was not large and many of the returns were imperfectly filled out. A second request for information was sent in July to all libraries failing to respond to the first request. Before the close of 1908 a third and a fourth request for statistics was sent to all libraries that had not been heard from and were supposed to have 5,000 volumes or over. Altogether nearly 25,000 copies of the schedule were sent out. The returns aggregated about 8,340. There were 2,298 libraries reporting 5,000 volumes or over, 3,342 reporting 1,000 volumes or over but less than 5,000, and about 2,700 reporting less than 1,000 volumes each. It is believed that nearly all the libraries having as many as 5,000 volumes are represented in- the list published in this bulletin, but it is certain that there are more than one thousand libraries of 1,000 to 5,000 volumes from which no returns were received. Following is a copy of the schedule sent to the 15,634 libraries: Department of the Interior, BUREAU OF EDUCATION, Washington, D. C, May 1.5, 1908. PUBLIC, SOCIETY, AND SCHOOL LIBRARIES. To THE Librarian: Please fill out this form and forward it without delay to "The Commissioner of Education, Washington, D. C." A return penalty envelope is inclosed for this purpose, to be used without postage. Please do not hold bad this report because you can not at once answer all the questions. Pill out the blank so far as you can, using careful estimates where you can not give the exact figures. If the answer to a question is " No"'or "0," insert the word or figure, as the case may require; if the question can not be answered and an estimate can not be furnished, use the words "No data." The time in which the "Report on Libraries" must be prepared for publication is very short, and each librarian is therefore urged to return this form within a few days. Delay may cause the omission of your library from the list. 1. Name of library 2 . Post-office ._ ; State 3. Date of arigioal establisiment 4.

These statistics are summarized in Tables 1 to 8. These tables give by States and geographical divisions the informa- tion given for the individual Hbraries Hsted in Tables 20 and 21. The 2,298 Ubraries had 55,350,163 volumes, and 1,080 of them reported 11,259,569 unbound pamphlets, as shown in Table 1. Dur- ing the year ending about the middle of 1908, there were 3,558,343 books and pamphlets added to 2,025 of the libraries. The last column of Table 1 shows that 5,508,620 borrowers cards were in force in 1,261 of the libraries, and in Table 2 it is shown that 75,212,372 volumes were issued for use outside 1,384 libraries. The number of volumes issued for the use of children by 645 libraries was 17,345,034. During the year there were 19,889,505 visitors to the reading rooms of 581 libraries. The final columns of Table 2 show that there were 8,741 paid employees for 1,832 libraries, and that the building force, janitors, etc., of 1,020 libraries numbered 2,147. Table 3 shows that 1,251 of the libraries were entirely free to the pubhc, 460 free for reference, and 184 free to students of the college or school with which they are connected. The number of subscrip- tion libraries was 300, including 205 free to the pubHc for reference. There were 103 unclassified. Of the 2,298 libraries, 1,131 occupied their own buildings, 83 used rented buildings, 942 occupied buildings furnished free, and 142 did not report as to this item. A general classification of the 2,298 Ubraries is given in Table 4. There were 1,126 general, 43 United States Government, and 54 state Ubraries. There were 425 college, 7 coUege society, and 221 school Ubraries. The number of law Ubraries was 109 ; theological, 88 ; med- ical, 32; historical, 44; scientific, 43; society, 63; institutional, 33; and unclassified, 10.

There were 6 having each 600,000 volumes or over, 9 having less than half a milUon, but 300,000 or over, and 62 having less than 300,000, but 100,000 or more. The number of Ubraries having 50,000 to 99,999 was 141, while 278 had 25,000 to 49,999. The number having 10,000 to 24,999 volumes was 740, while 1,062 had 5,000 up to 9,999. The last column of the table shows that there were 3,342 Ubraries having 1,000 volumes or over, but less than 5,000. Table 6 is a summary showing the sources and amounts of income of 1,883 of the 2,298 Ubraries. The amount derived directly from pubUc taxation by 531 libraries was $3,778,621, while the amount received from pubUc appropriations by 782 Ubraries was $4,937,690. 10 STATISTICS OP PUBLIC, SOCIETY, AND SCHOOL LIBBARIBS. Educational institutions or societies allotted $1,602,401 for the support of 557 libraries. The amount derived from productire funds was $1,611,012 for 566 libraries. The income from all other sources reported by 1,135 libraries amounted to $1,347,530. The aggregate income of 1,883 hbraries was $13,277,254, as shown in the last column of Table 6. Table 7 exhibits the expenditures of the 1,883 libraries.

The aggregate cost of buildings owned by 907 of the hbraries was $63,621,696. Only 742 reported the value of grounds and buildings, the aggregate being $63,176,333. During the fiscal year 46 libraries received $3,129,629 to be added to building funds. The permanent endowment funds of 617 hbraries aggregated $29,759,311. THE SMALLEE LIBRARIES. In procuring statistics from the hbraries having 5,000 volumes and over, returns were incidentally obtained from 3,342 hbraries having less than 5,000 and more than 1,000 volumes. These hbraries had an aggregate of 7,278,378 volumes, and 1,390 of the same libraries reported 754,235 unbound pamphlets, as shown in Table 9. During the year 532,639 books and pamphlets were added by 2,582 of these libraries; in 1,514 libraries 775,305 borrowers' cards were in force, and 7,010,212 books were issued by 1,451 hbraries for outside use. Table 10 shows that the 5,640 hbraries having 1,000 volumes and over had an aggregate of 62,628,541 volumes. Estimating the popu- lation of the United States as 86,948,061 in 1908, there were 15,416 persons to each hbrary, and an average of 72 bound volumes to every 100 persons. Various items relating to the hbraries having 1,000 volumes but less than 5,000 are given in Table 11. Of the 3,342 libraries men- tioned in Table 9 there were 1,675 reported as entirely free to the pubhc, 603 as free for reference, and 573 free to students. Buildings or rooms were furnished free to 2,241 hbraries, 284- were in rented buildings, and 584 occupied their own buildings. Table 12 gives a general classification of the hbraries having 1,000 to 4,999 volumes. There were 1,370 general, 1,377 school, and 163 college libraries.

Permanent endowment fimds held by 210 libraries amounted to 11,163,303. The total income of 2,365 Ubraries was $962,470 and thewreported expenditure $767,276, as shown in Table 13.' STATISTICS- OF THE LAE&Ea LIBEAEIES Ilf 1903-. For use in this bulletin new summaries have been prepared from the statistics pubHshed in 1903 relating solely to libraries having 5,000 volumes and over that year. There were 2,02S of these li- braries reporting 43,765,677 bound volumes, as shown in Table 15. There was an increase of 270 in the number of Kbraries and 11,584,486 in bound volumes, according to the returns of 1908, as shown in Table 14. The per cent of increase in books reported by libraries having 5,000 volumes and over was 26.47. For the year closing in the last half of 1903 the number of volumes added to 1,564 libraries was 2,053,535, and 1,058 lihraries issued 49,822,017 books- for outside use, as shown in Table 15. Table 16 shows that in 1903 there were 1,003 of these libraries of over 5,000 volumes free to the pubHc and 716 free for reference. The number of libraries occupying their own buildings was 784 and 1,065 occupied buildings furnished free. Table 17 gives a general classification of the libraries reported in 1903. In 1903 less than two thirds of the Ubraries reported financial statistics. The amount received from direct taxation by 354 libraries was $2,393,289, as shown in Table 18, while 560 received $3,372,821 from public appropriations, and 436 received $1,131,556 from pro- ductive funds. The total income reported by 1,317 hbraries was $9,584,032. Permanent endowment funds possessed by 444 hbraries aggregated $28,539,521, while 509 owned buildings aggregating in value $36,437,185. Table 19 shows that the number of libraries having 5,000 volumes and over reporting in 1891 was 1,174, in 1896 the number was 1,299, in 1900 the number was 1,729, increasing in 1903 to 2,028, and in 1908 to 2,298. DETAILED STATISTICS FOE 1908. Statistics in detail for the 2,298 libraries reporting 5,000 volumes and over in 1908 are given in Tables 20 and 21. The name and loca- tion of each hbrary, name of the librarian, nimiber of volumes, clas- sification, circulation statistics, total receipts, and total expendi- tures are exhibited in Table 20. Table 21 shows the sources of in- come and the amount received from each source, and the purposes of expenditure and the amount expended for each. 12 STATISTICS OF PUBLIC, SOCIETY, AND SCHOOL LIBKAKIES. Table 22 gives in some detail the statistics of city public library systems. The items of this table were not summarized, the statis- tics having been included in the general summaries of Tables 20 and 21. State and county traveling library systems are represented in Table 23. Full and satisfactory information concerning these sys- tems could not be secured after repeated inquiries. The statistics tabulated and summarized in this bulletin were secured in response to three general inquiries sent out by this bu- reau. The first schedule included all the items given in Tables 20 and 21. Schedule 2 called for the items in Table 23, and Schedule 3 covered the items given in Table 22. In addition to the three general schedules mentioned above, one relating to salaries of library employees and one relating to special or notable collections in libraries in the United States were sent out. The returns from these will be summarized in future publications of the bureau.
