THE PUBLIC LIBRARY
USE OF THE LECTURE HALL-CEN-
TENARY OF ANDERSEN.

a prominent English librarian who Wis
tied this country last autumn and Inspected
the principal libraries said that while al
most al the public library buildings had
lecture halls very few of them were used.
The District Public Library can claim to be
an exception to this charge, for its hall has
been in constant use throughout the winter,
and besides the meetings OF various socie-
ties which have been held in it, there have
been the free lectures of the board of ed
ucatiOn delivered there at least once a week
and sometimes oftener since the middle of
January. The hall has been in use twenty
eight evenings 50 far; nine other meetings
are scheduled. and applications for the use
of the hall are coming in every few days.
BY decision of the library trustees the use
of the hall is confined Ito free public lee
lures or discussions unobjectonable
topics of popular interest and educational
tendency" No charge for admission to
such meetings is ever allowed, and invita-
lions to the general public must always be
made through the press.
The public library is one of the depository
libraries for the printed catalogue cards
issued by the Library of Congress. and this
catalogue stands behind the return desk,
where its use by the public is invited. 1t
should be understood, however, that this Is
not a complete catalogue of the resources
of the Library of Congress but only of
those books for which printed cards have
been issued Its arrangement is entirely by
authors; there are no subject or title cards
whatever.
