81 Reasons for
Aiding Librdry's
Book Fund Drive

For many, many years The book fund
of the Indianapolis Public Library has
been distressingly insufficient During
the last four years the already inadequate
fund has been cut to sum far too low to
meet even ordinary demands made upon
it, taking no account of the increasing
use of the library and of abnormal needs
arising during a period of war and re-
construction. These cuts have been due
to the tax situation and the increased
costs of all items in the administration
Of library.
During times Of stress a library's book
fund is the only budget fund to draw
upon for other necessary items which can
not be further reduced and still keep the
library open. Light, heat, service, etc.
must be maintained in the face of rising
costs and great book needs. Last year
the Indianapolis Public Library was able
to spend only per cent of its total in
come on books. Other cities of the same
size normally spend on books from 10
to 80 per cent of their total annual in
comes. Kansas City spends % per cent.
Detroit n per cent, Louisville 26 per cent,
Denver q per cent, Seattle 10 per cent.
and Berkeley, Cal, spends as high as SO
per cent on books. indianapolis is con
sequently much handicapped by this
necessarily low budget
During certain periods of the year, par
ticularly during the winter months, the
library has been wearing out more books
than 1t can buy. This was true Of the
entire year 191S-1919, when the number
of books worn out was II 00S, as against
10 .206 new additions Books worn out
are naturally those most wanted and
nest I'm demand and use The book col
lection is consequently becoming rapidly
less adequate, useful and interesting.
How long could a shoe store. drug store
or even a book store keep up under like
conditions?
