clubs of the District, and it is reprinted to
bring it to the notice of members of clubs
which have hitherto not been reached. be-
cause Of the impossibility Of tracing every
organization throughout the District The
| library desires any such clubs to regard
| this letter as addressed to themselves. as
well as to the clubs with which 1t has been
possible to communicate separately many
or whose officers have already expressed
their intention to avail themselves of the
norary's efforts. The letter follows:
The Public Library desires to give what
ever assistance it can to the various clubs
and organizations OF the District which
are engaged in the study of literature art
history or any other subject on which the
BOOKS 1t possesses or may obtain can be
made useful To this end we are address
| ing the officers OF the various clubs now, in
order that the library may be ready to CO.
| operate with them. il they wish 1t. at the
opening of the fall and winter season of
1866.
viii you send in the name of your club
with names and addresses OF pres dent
and secretary and signify in what way we
can make our books more seryiceable to
you? We shall be very glad to receive
suggestions from you and in the meantime
propose the following plan: We invite Won
to register your club with this library and
to state as nearly as possible the nature of
your study for next winter. No doubt your
benefit is derived from combining your win
ters study to some one or two subjects II
that Is your practice, and you will give US
the special topics under the main subjects
that will be included in your program. we
shall be able during the summer to see
that the library is well stocked in these
lines. We should be glad II you would
make known to your members the fact that
the library is ready to cooperate In the fol-
lowing specific ways: We will prepare lists
when requested, OF our resources in any
particular subject; we will reserve these
books for a certain time in the reading
room. so that all members may have an
equal chance to use them; we will purchase
limited number of duplicates, whenever
possible, of especially helpful books; we
will, If 1t proves practicable. assign one or
more OF the smaller rooms for the use of
committees for conferences and for a
place for quiet study, If SO desired. sending
reserved books there temporarily.
I'VE should be glad II you would send in
the program OF your work of the present
year. We urge upon the clubs. II they wish
to aid most effectively in our efforts to
help them, that they prepare their pro-
grams as far in advance possible. II
programs for the next year are to be
printed, we should be glad to help In sup
plying references and suggest the advisa-
bility OF adding library call numbers to all
books given in your lists
