ANNUALREPORTOFTHE BARRYI PUBLIC…
ANNUALREPORTOFTHE BARRY PUBLIC LIBRARY. THE annual report of the Barry Free Libraries has just been issued by the Librarian, Mr J. Roch, and a most interesting review it is of work done during the year just closed. The past year, Mr Roch remarks, has been characterised by great activity, and marks a very important period in the history ¡ of the Public Libraries in the town. Since the adaption of the Libraries'Act in 1891, the Public Library and Reading Rooms have been located in converted dwelling-houses, unsuitable in many ways for the purposes intended, but serving nevertheless to supply, to a limited extent, the needs of the public. This state of things, however, will shortly be remedied, three permanent buildings having been secured, a Central Library and two Public Reading Rooms. Public interest in the Library has been well maintained. The lending department was opened 315 times during the year, and the total number of books issued was 66,299. The greatest number of books issued in one day was 426, and the daily average was 229. The increase in the number of books issued was 1,551 and it is satisfactory to know that the pro- portion of works of fiction in comparison with other branches of literature fell last year to 67 per cent. The total number of borrowers, adult and juvenile, was 816, and when it is noted that nearly 10,000 borrowers have taken advantage of the Lending Library since its opening more than ten years ago, the vast amount of interest taken by the public in the Library movement of the town will be realised. The School Scheme has worked satisfactorily so far as it has been put into operation, still there is ample scope for its extension, and Mr Roch suggests that there should be some means of conveying books from the Central Library to all the schools of the town. There are 1,088 children in the various schools available as borrowers, but at present only about half of the number can be supplied. The Librarian strongly advocates the desirability of extending the School Scheme either by the establishment of School Libraries in co-operation with the Public Libraries' Committee, or by making a grant to the Public Library for the pur- chase of books, but this, of course, is a matter upon which the Education Committee will have to be consulted before anything tangible is done. The number of books issued to the schools was 10,097, of which 7,747 were I works of minor fiction or story books, and 2,350 of other classes of literature. The selection of books is confined to the teachers, and it is a gratifying fact that there seems to be a growing tendency to correlate the reading as far as possible with the course of instruction given in the schools. Reference is made in the report to the fact that the new Central Library, the cost of which, amounting to S8,000 will be defrayed through the generosity of Mr Andrew Carnegie, is in course of erection also that the erection of permanent Reading Rooms at Barry and Cadoxton, erected at a cost of about £1,000 each, has reached a stage of completion, the latter having recently been opened for the public use. During the year, through the generosity and thoughtfulness of the Committee, the Librarian was enabled to pay a visit of inspection to some of the prin- cipal Public Libraries of the country, includ ing London, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol, Kingston-on-Thames, Leeds, and Manchester. The experience thus obtained, Mr Roch states, was of considerable value to him, which he believes will prove of practical importance. The number of volumes in the Barry Library is 6,664, an increase of 155 compared with the previous year. Application has been made for gifts of books from the Cambridge and Oxford University Press, British Museum, &c., and there is good prospect of the lending library and reference departments of the new central buildings being thus enriched by some valu- able and interesting additions. A new catalogue, it is noted, is in course of prepara- tion. This work entails great accuracy, and not a little concentration of thought, both of which are, however, interfered with by the ordinary routine work of the Library. The financial position of the Library at the close of the year, it is pleasing to add, showed a credit balance of Y,416 Os. 3d. In addition to the Librarian's most interesting report, statistics are given showing the number and classification of books and other useful infor- mation. Under the head of growth of circu- lation, it is pointed out that during the year 1892-3 the number of volumes issued from the lending library was 2,639 during the corresponding period last year, 66,299 the total number of volumes issued during the past decade being 382,886. The report is, as we have indicated, both interesting and instructive, and year by year constitutes a. valuable compendium of official information relating to the Public Library movement of the town; and much praise is due to Mr Roch, the Librarian, who takes such a deep and active interest in his work, upon the care and judgment which he exercises in the preparation of his yearly report.
BARRY PUBLIC LIBRARIES' COMMITTEE.
BARRY PUBLIC LIBRARIES' COMMITTEE. THE READING ROOMS USED FOR BETTING NEWS. A meeting of the Barry Public Libraries' Com- mittee was held on Monday evening last, when Mr D. W. Roberts presided. There were also present- Councillors W. Paterson, J. A. Manaton, Dr P. J. O Donnell, Rev T. Pandy John, and J. Milward* W. R. Lee, D. Morgan, and T. Davies, and Messrs J. Lowdon, J.P., J. O. Davies, John Jones, and R. T. Evans. Several accounts were passed for payment. The Librarian (Mr J. Roch) presented hie monthly report, which showed that 5,782 books from the lending library were issued during the month, the average of fiction being 68 per cent. 4,994 tickets were issued to ordinary borrowers, and 1,373 to school children, the actual number of borrowers being 1,587. Several presentations; Mr Roch reported, had been made to the library, including two framed pictures of the a.s. Oceanic, quantity of British Museum publications, map of Peru, Battersea Public Library Report, and illustrated guide to Swansea. The statement of accounts for the year was pre- sented, the most satisfactory feature being a balance of A416 Os 3d, including .£260 2s 5d brought forward from the previous year. The chief items of expenditure were: — Salaries A152 15s and rents, rates, and taxes, .£145 4s 9d. From the rate, .£550 was received, the rate balance being 495 5s 2d. It was pointed out that it was the duty of the caretaker of JJadoxton Reading Rooms to clean the windows thereat. A letter was read from Mr F. C. Murrell, Barry, calling attention to the fact that a large number of men frequented the different reading rooms for the purpose of obtaining betting news and sport- ing tips from the papers, and Mr Murrell asked if something could be done to remedy this great and growing evil.—Mr Roch, having been asked his opinion on the matter, said that it had come under his notice for a long time, and he thought the practice was on the increase. The evening papers were eagerly sought after, especially the earlier editions. If these papers were eliminated from the reading rooms, he thought the evil would be largely abated. — Mr Lee thought that something should be done. It would, perhaps, be desirable to ink over the betting news this was done in some large towns. They were there to represent and look after the interests of the people, and by doing this they would, he thought, be doing their duty on behalf of public morality.-Mr W. Paterson said when it was suggested to ink over the betting news, that did not necessarily mean sporting news. He had been a bit of an athlete himself, and he should be sorry to see the young men deprived of the privilege of reading sporting news which was not associated with betting and gambling. On the other hand, he agreed with what had been said that something should be done to discourage the reading of betting news. He, therefore, moved that the Librarian communicate with other public libraries and ascertain what was being done else- where. — In seconding, Mr J. O. Davies stated that, at the reading-rooms at Mans- field, Poplar, Southwark, and Camberwell the betting intelligence was inked over, and he should like to see the same done at Barry.- The suggestion was agreed to.—Mr Manaton then moved that no copies of the Evening Express and Echo be placed on the shelves of the reading-rooms, inasmuch as they were only half-penny papers, and were within the reach of all.-Several mem- bers did not agree with this, and Mr Manaton amended his resolution that only the later editions be placed on the shelves.—-Mr Milward'seconded, and it was agreed to. A suggestion was received from members of the Barry Twentieth Century Club asking that certain papers be placed in the Barry Rooms. — Dr O'Donnell thought this should apply to Cadoxton as well.—A question was asked if there were any Twentieth Century ladies at Cadoxton ? — Mr Milward Oh, yes, any amount of them. (Laughter.)—The suggestion was agreed to with respect to both Barry and Cadoxton. Tenders for the binding of magazines were re- ferred to the Books Committee. The Librarian reported that he had commu- nicated with several libraries with respect to the question of grants made by the County Councils for the purchase of technical books for public libraries. Thirty-six public libraries had received annual grants from the Excise Duties for the purchase of these books. Swansea was the only town in Wales to receive a grant of this description, namely £ 5.—Mr Roch was instructed to ascertain what urban districts had received grants from the County Council. Several matters were afterwards considered in private.
