CITY LIBRARY HAS
MANY AAhD|CAPS
They Are Vividly Revealed in the
Librarians Annual
Report.

Tho twcnty-sixth annual report of the
Wilmington Institute Free Library, made
by Arthur l.. Bailey, the librarian, for the
year ended March 1, 1920, shows plainly
the handicape under which tho library
has been functioning
Mr.. Bailey states that during the past
year there has been rs per cent increase
in the use OF the library due perhaps to
the reaction after tho signing Of the
armistice. For the first time since il Was
made free in 1898, the library az . book
collection has barely held its own. Lack
Of purchasing funds and increasing use Of
books has resulted in only few moro
books being added TO tho shelves than
were discarded. Tho library has found IL
necessary TO retain books in bad oon-
dition because Of its inability 10 replace
them.
Considering the 25 per cent Increase in
use and the incrcase Of tho costs Of main
tenance, $4,000 should have been spent
on new books. whereas only little over
$1,000 WAS expended.
REcEIvEp HrLBIssR COLLECTION.
During the year the library was greatly
enriched by the gift Of the Frederick j.
Hilbiber collection, given by several
friends OF the library. The collection con-
sisted OF about 1900 volumes. About
2,i22 Of thcse were placed on the shelves,
the rest being disposed Of TO the library s
advantage.
The collection contained many valuable
books and WAS particularly rich in Della
warcana. About .1l5 volumes Of early
Wilmington imprints were found which
tho library did not have. Among them
was copy Of the first book ever printed
in Delaware. IL IL entitled Tho Cirixen's 3
and Countryman's Experienced Farricr,
by J. Markham and G.. Jcfferis and Dis
Greet Indians, published in 1894.
NEARLY 100000 voLuMEs
During the year ending February %.
1920, net increase Of 5,317 volumes was
made at the library, making the total Of
qo,774 volumes An increase Of 1920
card-holders was made during the yenr,
the total now being 20.376. A total num-
her of books issued for home use during
the year was 357,6s7, An increase of
1928.
The financial report OF the institute
was supplemented by An appeal by the
treasurer, Leroy Harvey, for public con-
tributions. He pointed out that the
usual sources Of funds for the library were
not productive of enough money TO main
tain il under the conditions which II
should bc maintained. Small contrihu-
,ions, il enough were made, would enable
the library to he improved in every de-
partment.
