No section of the technical and scien-
tific department of the Free Public
Library Is more popular than that de-
voted to the building trades. Here are
to be found books on building in gen
eral, covering all the branches of the
trade, and special books on all these
various branches-masonry, concrete,
carpentry, plumbing, gas and steam
fitting and heating and ventilating
work.
Some of these books are so much in
demand that the library authorities
have found it necessary to keep in
stock many duplicates. The following
list of some selected titles under each
of the subjects mentioned will possibly
serve to help some interested person
who for the first time may realize that
the Public Library is trying to aid the
mechanics and artisans of the city to
become better informed in special lines
of work.
