THE PUBLIC LIBRARY
HOW TO SECURE LIBRARY PRIV.
ILEGES-NEw BOOKS.

Even though the use of the District Pub
lie Library is increasing with great rapid
| ity. yet as there are some persons who do
not know how easily the privilege of using
the library may be obtained 1t seems de-
sirabIe to summarize briefly tho process.
The rules state that ''all persons who are
permanent or temporary residents of the
District of Columbia. including as tenn
porary residents those who have regular
business or employment in the District,
shall be entitled to the privileges of the
library as a lending or circulating
library by signing the proper application
and agreement.
In practice any person whose name Is
| found in the District directory, the Blue
| Book or any similar directory, or who
| brings note of introduction from his en-
! ployer saying that he is permanently en-
| pioyed is at once recognized as entitled 10
a borrowers card on signing the appltca-
| ton. Borrowers cards are issued on the
| second day after the application Is made.
| These include white card on which any
| book that circGiates may be drawn, and
! green card on which anything except f1c-
| ton may be secured. Minors under
| eighteen and persons whose names are not
| In the recognized directories or who are
not introduced by employers, are required
| to furnish written guaranty from some
/ one whose name appears in one of the
| directories.
| Strangers temporarily in Washington may
and often do gain library privileges. If
they do not care to secure d guarantors
| signature they may, at the discretion of the
| librarian, obtain cards by depoSiting So Tor
| more If they require expensive books, the
| deposit to be returned when cards are sur
| rendered The of the reference room
| is, of course. open to all visitors to the
| library
| The opening of the library on Sundays e.
to 10 p.ml and holidays 90 am. to 10
pml is growing as people are learning of
the fact. Even though Washington's birth
day offered many attractions to stay out
of doors, yet there were 43S visitors to the
adult reading room and 342 visitors to the
chidren's room, in addition to numerous
uncounted visitors to the circulation de-
partment. The home circulation was s31.
