The experiment Of free libraries in gardens or
parks IS being tried in Brooklyn by the Brook
E1 Public Library Association, through whose
efforts there are now three reading rooms and
libraries in three different parks in that
borough To George V Brewer. Commissioner
Of Parks for the Borough Of Brooklyn, is due
the credit of starting these libraries, for it is
through his generosity and kind cooperation
that the buildings have been secured and fitted
70 accommodate The books and the readers.
Nj Brewer, who is serving his third term as
Park Commissioner, is well fitted for his position
~ his intense love Of nature and a keen
ness OF observation that renders him alert to
every beauty and TO every blernish that needs to
fan under the eye Of a faithful Commissioner,
and TO very opportunity to extend the useful
ness OF improve the conditions Of the parks. To
give the children visitors every advantage has
been the aim Of the Park COMMISSIONS. and
when Il was suggested that TO boathouses ner-
ry-go-rOunds, museums, menageries, cOnservato-
ries and palm houses might be added places Of
more intellectual culture reading rooms and
libraries AIr. Brewer replied: Z don't know
just how il viii work but I willing to try it
I doubt however II you viii find many who viii
cara 70 read They come to the parks for rec
rsauon and I should think for relaxation from
reading and study"
The Commissioner vas agreeably surprised at
the end 0< the first month after the opening Of
the library in Bedford Park to learn that over
SIX thousand persons had visited the library,
either 70 read there or TO take books away for
hone use At the end Of seven months there
had been circulated 16, $50 books for home use
ard 1890 persons had read on the premises.
Ee inquired OF policemen and attendants and
New-York tribune., 1900-09-02

Libraries located in some Of the london parks
According to the reports OF the libraries for
the last year there have teen read either in the
reading rooms Of the park libraries or taken
from them for home use 130171 volumes, and
they have been visited by q. .602 persons to read
on the premises The only cost Of conducting
these Libraries is the actual cost OF books and
the salary Of the attendants. We find the cost
Of the circulation volume is much below the
general average"
Bedford Park and the branch at LitchfeId
Mansion, Prospect Park are now under the
Brooklyn Public Library Board Of Directors.
The Tompkins Park Library is still conducted
by the Brooklyn Public Library Association, and
is entirely maintained through the generosity OF
friends Of the association. It is hoped that
parks in other sections Of the city may in time
have at least small reading rooms to tempt the
lOungers to employ their idle time in seeking in
formation or knowledge.
Brooklyn has been slow to demand library
privileges but now that the start has been made
for a great public library system she is setting
example to other cities, and is giving out
some new ideas regarding library management
New-York tribune., 1900-09-02

learned that more people had visited the park
than ever before. and that they were as whole
more orderly and well behaved whereas before
the adults had sat around on benches, stupid
and half asleep, now 1t was observed that most
OF them provided themselves with a book or
magazine from tie library and read while en-
1cying the rest and quiet Of the place
The children, too. instead Of playing until they
became tired and Quarrelsome, would rush of for
a book and often one would read aloud to an
interested group. lying comfortably quiet under
the shade of the trees
The Library Association did not need to ask
for the second building. Mr Brewer persuaded
Of the good results Of the first library offered
the association the use Of a beautiful two story
brick building in Tompkins Park. and even went
to the expense Of fitting It up with oak wains-
coting and shelving, plate glass doors and win
dows and spared no expense to make it an at
tractive place. AS soon as it was thrown open
to the public it became, like the first public
library the gathering place for the better class
OF the park visitors, and the attendance aver
aged from four hundred to five hundred daily.
Tompkins Park is located in section Of the
city that is thickly populated and the park is
reQuented by large number of unfortunate
children who are not privileged to take q vaca-
ton in the country. To spend the day In the
park is TO this great class their highest pleas
ure, and the library has become during the long
summer months their second home some Of
them only leaving 1t TO take their meals at home
Mrs. Mary E Craigie. who originated the idea
Of locating libraries in the parks, and who has
been most active IN the establishment OF the
Public Library in Brooklyn, says: ITO give our
great city a complete public library system on the
most approved plan is what we working
for. starting with one branch, and developing
the work until now have seven We have
watched most carefully every step Of the prog
