This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of the Libraries in the District of Columbia In 1897 the District of Columbia Library Association published a small handbook of the libraries in the District, and in 1898 a supplement thereto. In 1910 a new edition was proposed, and a committee (consisting of Miss Claribel A. Barnett, Mr. Willard O.Waters, with Mr. H. H. B. Meyer as chairman) was appointed to compile it. This committee did some preliminary work in formulating a plan of procedure, enlarging the list of libraries, and preparing a blank form for statistics, etc. Pressure of official duties prevented the work from going further. Upon the announcement of the meeting of the American Library Association in Washington this year, it became obvious that such a handbook, in a revised edition, would be a Convenience to the delegates. It was determined, therefore, to complete the data, so far as this proved possible within the limited time available, and to issue the new edition, even if imperfect. Upon the chairman of the committee, as in the best position to expedite the undertaking, the responsibility then fell; and as he is the Chief Bibliographer of the Library of Congress, the publication itself has been undertaken by this Library - which in any event would have been appropriate. For the reasons explained above, as a statement it is doubtless lacking both in completeness and accuracy of detail. There has not been time even to submit the items for revision to the various libraries described. It may be perfected in a later edition. In the meantime, it may prove serviceable as it stands.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Graded and Annotated Catalog of Books in the Public Library of the District of Columbia, for Use in the Schools of the City The Public Library of the District of Columbia furnishes to the Public Schools of the city, through the school stations and through the cooperation of the grade teachers, 'many thousands of books during the school year. It is more and more forced on the attention of the library that numerically only a small portion of the children of Washington are being satisfactorily reached by the main library and its one branch. It is to the schools, reaching every locality, to which the library looks for help in solving the problem. A book in the hands of a teacher and recommended by her carries great weight. There fore by sending small libraries to all of the schools, more par ticularly the distant ones, we hope to reach the right child with the right book at the right time. Any teacher may select or request the library to select one book for each child in her class or any number of books up to fifty, which will be sent to her by the library and called for at the end of two months, after notification, unless she desires to retain them for a longer period. For the convenience of the teachers and to advise them of the material to be had for supplementary work and for pleasurable reading this graded and annotated catalog of books has been prepared. It has been arranged by subject that the material on the work being studied may be readily found. There is also an author index. Many of the books listed in a certain grade will be found useful in a lower or higher grade, the grading being only suggestive.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of the District of Columbia, or Washington City Seventy-Nine Years Ago, 1830-1909 I don't suppose Alexandria has changed much - only faces and persons; neither Georgetown, with its hills and hollows; for neither place was trying to be first in anything, only in old families and residences, and they were many. Washington was always famous for trying to be in the swim and oft-en times in the scum as well, and from what I hear of it, in my home in the West, it is still as eager for notoriety as in the days of long ago. Hoping this little volume may find favor in your eyes, and replenish the exchequer of which just now I am greatly in need, I remain.
