THE REASON WHY

In connection with the establishment
of public libraries over the State it is
but fail and just to say that a very
earnest effort was made in 1868 by
members of the Shreveport public
library, led by the president, Mrs. Sal
lie Quarles Hamilton to create senti-
ment in favor of special tax for library
purposes. The Police Jury ordered an
election The library tax was defeated
through lack of interest on the part of
several large taxpayers. A most desir-
able down town site could have been
secured at reasonable price and
Shreveport would have been in line
with Jennings, Lake Charles, Alexan-
dria, all much smaller in population than
Our own city. Now, there does not seem
to be ghost of a chance for Carne-
gle library, property has advanced very
largely and hard times are on. The tax
asked for was IA mill. an increase that
would not have been felt by the small
property owner, and surely would not
have been burdensome to the rich. The
Shreveport public library was strug
Cling to keep its doors open from day
TO day. and the defeat of this public
spirited movement was a sore disap-
pointment to the devoted workers, espe-
cially to Mrs. Hamilton who believed
that the opening of free library was
the most important event in the history

NEWS AND NOTES
Items of Interest Gathered by Cau-
casian Representative.

1t seems rather remarkable that Cal
casieu parish has two Carnegie libraries,
one in Jennings and the other in Lake
Charles, and Caddo has never been able
to secure a Carnegie donation. Just how
Calcasieu has been so fortunate is told
i'll the following extract from the Hand
book of Louisiana Libraries from which
data has already been given the his
tory of the Jennings library is an ex-
cellent example for other towns, and
a proof of the value of faithful and
continued effort. It is the successful re-
suit of over twenty years work on the
part of the Ladies Library Society of
Jennings, a chartered organization
which with admirable energy has
worked toward that end.
Beginning in a small way as a social
organization, the work was enlarged
from time to time with view to build
ing town library. A lot was pre-
sented. Donations of books, pictures,
furniture and money in various amounts
followed. After accommodating $4,000 it
was decided to apply to Mr. Carnegie
for a donation Ten thousand dollars
was secured for the establishment of
Carnegie library, the city of Jennings
pledging an annual appropriation of
$1,000. The ladies society turned over
&c &t,.y f,f
The new library building is an attrac-
tive and unique little building in cream
colored brick. stone facing, octagonaI
'front.' fianked by two wings. There is
also a basement with furnace and stor-
age and toilet. The entire cost of the
building was $4,000 1t has a capacity
of 6ooo volumes, at present numbers
only 1900. The librarian plans work for
the school children and proposes to in
crease the popularity and usefulness of
the children's room by means of a reg
ular story hour The librarian is Miss
Zula Lee Mcclure, assistant and CORE
spending secretary Mrs M. MI. Rob
erts.
LAKE CHARLES LIBRARY.
The public spirite generosity of the
North American Land and Lumber
Company gave Lake Charles its public
library and this was through the advice
of their representative. Mr., A. v East
man. Mr.. Carnegie was appealed to and
gave $To,ooo for the erection of build
ing on condition that the city should
tax itself $Iooo annually for the sup
port of the library The corner stone of
the building was laid in March 1902,
and the library was opened to the pub
lie in March 1904. Number of books in
the library is 1913, exclusive of files of
unbound periodicals. Thifty-seven mag
azines, and two newspapers are regular
ly received. Circulation of books for
the year was 1882, number of active
card holders 1908. Miss veropa Keener
is the efficient librarian.
