ANENT THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.

Although marked appreciation of
the architectural features are not
wanting, the Durango public library
means a great deal more to our peo-
pie than an artistic structure which
occupies an excellent site on the cor.
ner of Second ave, and Twelfth st.
The annual report of the Librarian
shows that 10,925 persous used the
reading room during the year ending
June 80, 1912. A very large num-
ber consider our population less than
5000 people. Eleven thousand six
hundred volumes were circulated with
a loss of only five and four Of these
were replaced by the borrowers.
Five thousand four hundred and
"a volumes are on the accession list
Since July /, 1911, 227 books have been
purchased and 126 donated. The Ii
brary subscribes To So periodicals and
receives as donation six.
On the shelves Of the reference
room can be found many of the lead
ing reference books and large num-
Der of bound volumes of our leading
periodicals. To assist in the use of
the latter Poole's index and the Read
ers guide are furnished. In the num-
ber and excellency of the encyclope-
dias this department is especially
strong. AS this is the only reference
library in iha cont byuaef /. 10 f;t+t,,
that much care has been devoted to
the selection of literature relating to
the cliff dwellings, and cliff dwell
ers and all prehistoric conditions of
this section. AS result of the unus-
ual care given this portion of the de-
partment it is second only to the same
section in the national library in
Washington. Nearly all publications
of the state agricultural college are
found on the shelves. Material relat-
ing to mining conditions of the
southwest is very complete.
The fiction room contains the works
of standard authors, in addition TO
many popular books of the present
day, familiarity known as best sell
ers. The last named, usually pur-
chased by request, are rented for
five cents per week. In this way they
usually bring returns greater than
their original cost.
1t is the aim Of the board to gather
a library that will form a perman-
ent collection Of practical material
of permanent worth and in this they
have thus far been eminently success
full.
The library staff, consisting Of the
efficient librarian, Mrs. Fay and COM
petent assistants, Miss Gwendolen
Houk and Sadie Sullivan are very
factors in the success of
the institution. They are never too
busy with clerical duties to stop
and cheerfully give patrons every as
sistance possible.
Members of the committee for the
coming year who will labor to in
crease the efficiency of the library
and attend most carefully to the judi
cious expenditures of the money are:
Finance and Furnishing.

ter, Mrs. Nettie Buchanan.
