PRESIDENT FRANKLIN'S RE
PORT. To the Trustees of the Carnegie Li
brary: Gentlemen: It is my pleasure
to submit herewith the annual report
of the Carnegie Library for the year
ending December SI, 11106.
An examination of the librarian's
records and report will show that
during tne past yesr the library has
made a very marked and steady pro
gress. WJille we have been vary
much handicapped on account of the
lack of sufficient funds. yt the in
terest has Increased. The books are
being more generally used, not only
by the children, but by all of our peo
ple In almost every walk of lifp. The
library ihas become a ni-wssnry ml
. Junct of our public, schools, and not a
day passes but thut the books are
used either by the teac'ners or pupils.
The only rcuson whv we hnve not
been able to carry out the ureat work
mwiuvu mm ijfniiru on i op pun m
the trustees is the lock of funds. The
appropriation l barely sufficient to
cover the actual expenses, and conse
quently, If It wore not for the fact
that some of our people have very
generously donated money and books,
we would not have, bei-n able, during
fne past year, to have Increased the
number of volumes but very little
Should we bo sble to accept Mr. Car
negie's proposition to donate an ad
ditional 11 5,00 0.00 fur the purpose
of enlarging the library and erecting
a lecture room, the Income would be
such that each year a large number

books could be added. Charlotte be
lieves In extension, and when tho
limits are extended the opportunities
and necestltlns of the library will In
crease, and If the board of aldermen,
through rne people, will give us u
barely sufficient Income, they will n
mors than compensated In the splen
did results.
It Is not Intended that thin report
hould contain any specific or detail
ed Information, as all of this Is em
bodied In the very extended report
of the llbrartnn. I, therefore, only
wish to say. In roncluMion, t'nat (he

during the year Is a rrpt conven

of requests for Information from those
who live at some distance from the
library.
We have received a gifts from in

of periodicals. A complete ; list of
gifts with names of donors Is given

y,: yy.p; w) SUMMARY, t'::'? '1'
1 The details of tha year's work will
bo found In the carefully prepared
tab ca. ' ' . -,
The city of Charlotte appropriated
during the year ior, tie sup
port of the library.' which Is less than
75 cents per capita for the number
or peopio using tne itorary, as tne
total registration to. data shows
851 borrowers, '.""'-i ' '.; .
. During tne year1 1906 thi number
of volumes circulated for home ; use
was 86,120, the attendance in the
reading room wa 22,188. ; '
It is a gratifying assurance of the
care taken In the selection of books
for purchase that scarcely a volume
is bought that doee not speedily find
readers. r
Year by year the usefulness of the
library wll Increase along educational
lines.
A result of increased local pride
will extend tho Influence of the li
brary to a larger number of people.
Co-operation witn .the schools, lo
cal societies and clubs has ever been
the policy of the library, and many
clubs send their programmes and
club papers for the reading rooms.
Through the generosity or Mr. .
W. Cramer, the library has a list of
trade periodicals In keeping with the
Importance o the work It mas to do
In this community, placing within
reach of the workman, or man who
Is engaged in any local trade, the best
selection of the most essential tech
nical periodicals.
The work for the coming year will
of necessity h limited unless we re
ceive an adequate appropriation for
the book fund. The appropriation nt
the city cannot be applied to the pur
chase of books, as much is required
to maintain the building and grounds
in good condition, and to keep up
the efficiency of the administrative de
partment. The librarian reports with pride
that during the life of the library,
with a circulation of 181,27 volumes,
only Ti books have been unaccounted
for. This satisfactory result was not
accomplished Without effort.
Your librarian would express grate
ful acknowledgement of the courtesy
and interest-which you, as members
of the board, took In the work of the
librarian for the North Carolina Li
brary Association, granting her leave
of absence to attend the Htato meet
ing at Rulelgh, N. C. and torepresent
the library at the Conference of the
American Library Association at
Narra i?an sett Pier, R. I. It was her
pleasure to report that Ashsvllle, N.
('.. had been selected as the place of
meeting for the American Library
Association In 1907.
The "broad spirit" of the library
encouraged by the board of trustees
Is shown in the Increasing number of
letters received that the library ex
tends the boundaries of Its usefulness
far beyond the city limits.
Respectfully submitted,
ANNIE KMITH K08H,
Librarian.
Our principal and most effective
mean of reaching the people has
been through the newspapers. The
library Is under deep obligation to the
local prss for the large amount of
spaco that has been given to lists of
books and library news.
CHILDREN'S ROOM."
The children have shown apprecia
tion of fnelr pleasunt room by good
behavior and the good use of tho
books. The "fltory Hour" Is (held
every Friday afternoon, and during
tha year more than 1.600 children
were onterUlned.
The "Lonesomest Doll" proved one
of the most popular stories, as was
shown, when told tne; second time
112 boys and girls were present.
Two "Wpeclal Days" in the children's
room were George Washlngton'a
hltrhday nnd tin "Kxhlblt of IttiRs"
made nt Pcuchland, N. C, by hcIiooI
children, loaned by Mr. D. A. Tronp
klnc. The policy of lending the children's
room for club meetings bus met with
favor, the Wnmnn's Club, he pay Nur
sery, the primary Teacher's Ass.icia-1
lion and the Engineering Society of
the Carollnns using It as a regular
place of meeting. Besides these rcjru-i
lur meltings, tne room was useu n;i
time by societies or committees arid
for r, lector's. The State Associa
tion nf Trained Nurses held their nn
nunl uieetlnic here.
. Dt'l'LICATIC COLLECTION.
On. of tin- most difficult problems
that confronts the librarian Is how
to meet i he demand for current fic
tion Tnn duplicate collection, adopted by
many of the large libraries, has been
nui -i-cuHrul wiin us. i nis is an enure
ly separate collection from the main
library, made up of duplicates of
popular books, the demand for which
i annul be supplied.

The lumber firm of Foushee A
Curren has purchased from one of
the celebrated WIlHams families, of

best In these forest "counties, and 1,-
0,000 feet have already been de
livered and the other 3,000,000 are
