Who Have Contributed.


Besides some thirteen life-members,
persons or the descendants of persons
who have contributed 800 or more,
the library has about 200 regular mem
bers who adhere to it year in, year
out; and number Of others who sub
scribe when they feel like IT. Last
year there were nearly 200 of these
transient subscribers. While the
number varies very largely from time
to time, il is exceptionally low now be-
cause people have not yet come around
10 taking books from the library in
large numbers since the prohibition en-
forced during the plague was taken
off. The epidemic, by the way. has not
turned peoples thoughts to medicine
sufficiently to prompt them to seek out
the library's medical works, most of
which, by the way, are antiquated.
This is a great Misunderstanding
community, but not a studious one.
Nearly all the people able to take mag
aZines do so, and the reading-room at
the library is constantly and literally
patronized. Next to the periodicals,
the reading public here cares for light
literature; the climate does not tempt
people to indulge liz books that you
have to labor over. The great MAORI
ty OF books that 90 out consists of fic-
tion-between 20 and so per cent.
Circulation of Books.
The average circulation OF books
was about thirty-two per day for 1898,
and ii is probably no more now, since
only 25O persons in the community are
at present entitled to draw books. Con-
sidering how excellent this little IL
brary is, and how well it is adapted 10
our reading public, Honolulu may hon
estly and sincerely congratulate Itself
upon the fact that the library has
| grown up and been cherished IN its
midst. IL is one Of many thorough y
and unreservedly good institutions OF
/ Honolulu, and II will be more and
more valued with every succeeding
/ year. II is in charge OF a thoro IghIy
/ intelligent and judicious librarian,
| who knows il from top 10 bottom, and
/ who is glad to take any amount ol
| trouble TO put seekers after informa-
| tion on the right track. Miss Bur
| bank is the guide, philosopher and
| friend OF the children, chiefly from the
| High School, who come for books; and
she directs their reading so wisely
that the principal of that school has
noted a marked increase in intelligence
among the pupils who are in the habit

Plenty of Fiction.

The library is well equipped with fic-
ton OF an excellent quality, and the
number of volumes of history, biog-
raphy and travel is about the same;
so that balance between the lighter and
the more serious branches of literature
is pretty well kept.
AS TO the popular volumes of the
present day, ITO Have and to Hold" is
the book in most demand at the NOM
ent. Close after Miss Johnstons sup
erb romance of colonial Virginia,
which, by the way, is the book of the
year so far from Maine to California,
comes Richard Carvel," another fine
story of colonial life, which has main
tanned its popularity amazingly well
for a year. Janice Meredith is far
less in demand, and David Harum"
has had its run. Kipling unaccountably
remains on the shelves, despite the fact
that to him turns the British heart In
time of war; but books that throw light
on the struggle in South Africa are
eagerly sought. or the new books in
the library people are reading those by
Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson with a
great deal OF interest. Women and
Economics" is rather a formidable
title, and that has proven against a
DOCK full or novel ana striking IDEAS,
but everybody seems TO have taken to
the same authors bright and lively
| social satire about affairs I'm This Our
World" and to recognize, as open
minded people on the Mainland have.
that the author is botn a force and a
woman of high creative talent. Justin
McCarthy's "Reminiscences" prove an
unfailing delight TO every one; and so
do THE Letters OF Robert Browning
and Elizabeth Barrett" and. in a differ
ent way and to a lesser degree.

THE Mechanics Library"
Number of Ioefs
In all there are abouI ii 900 books in
,he library at present. Year before last
40S new ones were added, besides rs
bound volumes of pei iod.cals. OF these
books, practically all were bought, only
few being given. As the library has
grown, fewer and fewer gifts of books
are made to II; so that now the .tua-
ton Is exactly reversed from that at the
beginning. The library Is now ircreas
ing at the rate OF something like 500
books a year. A hundred dollars n
month are available Tor purcha ing
books and periodicals.. The latter take
up over $500 a year, and the cost Of
binding them, more than another hun
dred, also comes out of the 81 200. The
residue barely allows the library TO
keep up with the best current works
and II has to be expended with care in
order to secure the books that people
ask for and want to read. and yet avoid
filing up the shelves with volumes the
interest and value Of which will be of
short duration. IL Is much to the credit
of the persons who have had the task
OF choosing the books to be bought in
past years that there is remarkably lit
tie unuseful malerial I'm the library: es-
pecially since the selection has been
perfOrce made at long range. Most
books of the day are ephemeral and the
separation OF these from works of last
ing interest Is an exceedingly difficult
matter and one requiring nice judg-
ment, particularly when all that can be
known about the new publications al
all is from hearsay and through notices
In the magazines. The desires of both
classes of readers; those who wish en-
tertainment and those who go in fol-
instruction, must be recognized and
provided for.

The debate between Mr Hanna and 9r Al
