The aspiration OF Miss McGienn 10
that the library may be increased IN
It's usefulness until there ~ book
for every citizen Of Tulsa, and q read
ing patron for every book.
In her recent annual report TO the
trustees Miss McGlenn said:
Book for Every Citizen.
"The time which comes sooner %
later 10 all libraries which are not
merely marking time has reached us.
We are confronted with the problem
OF accomplishing a vital work that has
grown and expanded on an inadequate
income and an insufficient STAFF. IL
we are TO meet the increasing demands
upon the library and grow in pro-
portion TO the growth OF the city. SO
that we can reach our goal, a book
for every citizen we must extend the
boundaries Of our work and neglect
no opportunity for better service.
The distinctly practical idea that
has moved the trustees and Miss NC
Glenn In the management OF the Ii
brary is TO accommodate the peculiar
needs OF the Tulsa public. Pursuing
this determination the library has ex-
tended It's purchases OF oil and gas
Journals until every publication in
this field OF activity is now TO be found
ir the library.
OF the eight thousand volumes
now listed at the library three
thousand have been donated. not
including Mrs Cogdon's generous
contribution. Miss McGlenn expressed
gratitude to friends Of the library for
the gift Of hooks and magazines, and
for the great interest and loyal sup
port the trustees have shown in
strengthening and building up the in
1titution. "The increased work would
hsve been quie impossible. she says.
"without their hearty cooperation. :"
A notable feature OF the library's
increasing usefulness is the popularity
OF the "Children's story Hours" begun
rome time ago. They are held every
Friday afternoon, o member of the IL
