# A Library Primer (1899)/Chapter I

If the establishment of a free public library in your town is under consideration, the first question is probably this: Is there a statute which authorizes a tax for the support of a public library? Your state library commission, if you have one, will tell you if your state gives aid to local public libraries. It will also tell you about your library law. If you have no library commission, consult a lawyer and get from him a careful statement of what can be done under present statutory regulations. If your state has no library law, or none which seems appropriate in your community, it may be necessary to suspend all work, save the fostering of a sentiment favorable to a library, until a good law is secured.
In chapters 44 and 45 will be found a list of state library commissions, important provisions in library laws, and the names of the states having the best library laws at present.
Before taking any definite steps, learn about the beginnings of other libraries by writing to people who have had experience, and especially to libraries in communities similar in size and character to your own. Write to some of the new libraries in other towns and villages of your state, and learn how they began. Visit several such libraries, if possible, the smaller the better if you are starting on a small scale.
# A Library Primer (1899)/Chapter IV

In general, remember always 1) that the public owns its public library, and 2) that no useless lumber is more useless than unused books. People will use a library, not because, in others' opinions, they ought to, but because they like to. See to it, then, that the new library is such as its owner, the public, likes; and the only test of this liking is use. Open wide the doors. Let regulations be few and never obtrusive. Trust American genius for self-control. Remember the deference for the rights of others with which you and your fellows conduct yourselves in your own homes, at public tables, at general gatherings. Give the people at least such liberty with their own collection of books as the bookseller gives them with his. Let the shelves be open, and the public admitted to them, and let the open shelves strike the keynote of the whole administration. The whole library should be permeated with a cheerful and accommodating atmosphere. Lay this down as the first rule of library management; and for the second, let it be said that librarian and assistants are to treat boy and girl, man and woman, ignorant and learned, courteous and rude, with uniform good-temper without condescension; never pertly.
Finally, bear in mind these two doctrines, tempering the one with the other: 1) that the public library is a great educational and moral power, to be wielded with a full sense of its great responsibilities, and of the corresponding danger of their neglect or perversion; 2) that the public library is not a business office, though it should be most business-like in every detail of its management; but is a center of public happiness first, of public education next.

​ELLIS. (Retired Commander, 1839. f-p., 25; h-p., 43.)
John Ellis, born 26 June, 1775, at Great Yarmouth, is eldest son of the late John Ellis, Esq., R.N., who, after assisting at the capture of Quebec in 1759, and serving throughout the war of independence in America, died, a Lieutenant of 18 years’ standing, in 1798.
This officer entered the Navy 17 June, 1779; served for some time in the Downs on board the Dromedary and Dunkirk; and, on joining Sir Chas. Henry Knowles, in the Daedalus 32, was for six months, during the year 1794, blocked up by a French squadron at Norfolk, in Virginia. The Daedalus had previously been dismasted in a storm, and had put into that port to be repaired. Following Sir C. H. Knowles into the Edgar and Goliath 74’s, Mr. Ellis ultimately proceeded to the Mediterranean, where, in 1796, immediately after passing his examination, he joined the Victory 100, bearing the flag of Sir John Jervis. From that ship he soon removed, as Acting-Lieutenant, to the Virago gun-boat, employed in the protection of Corsica; after the evacuation of which island by the British, he took her to Gibraltar. He then rejoined Sir C. H. Knowles on board the Goliath, in time to act a part in the battle off ​Cape St. Vincent, 14 Feb. 1797. As Lieutenant of the same ship (commission dated 29 April, 1797), we subsequently find him sharing, under Capt. Thos. Foley, in much hard boat-service off Cadiz, and participating with Lord Nelson in the bombardment of that town. Until the peace of Amiens, Mr. Ellis next served in the Namur 98, Capts. Thos. Sotheby and Wm. Luke, and in the Solebay 32. At the recommencement of hostilities, he was employed for about 12 months in the Sea Fencible service at Yarmouth; after which he appears to have successively joined, chiefly on the Home station, and generally as First-Lieutenant, the Constance 24, Capt. Anselm John Griffiths, Monmouth 64, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Thos. Macnamara Russell, Elephant 74, Capt. Geo. Dundas, Alert, Capt. Williams, part of the force employed in the attack on Copenhagen in Sept. 1807, and Dauntless 18, Capt. Dan. Barber. He invalided from the latter vessel in 1812; and does not appear to have been further employed. Commander Ellis, who had been on the Junior List of Retired Commanders since 26 Nov. 1830, was placed on the Senior List 20 Nov. 1839.
