WAUSAU LIBRARY
FOURTH HIGHEST
DESPITE SMALL SUPPORT
GIVEN, INSTITUTION
MAKES RECORD

Statistics published in the March
issue of the Wisconsin Library Bull
letin show that the Wausau Public
Library ranks fourth highest in point
of circulation in the state of Wiscon-
sin among cities OF 10000 to $4,000
population. The record is one of
which this city may feel exceptionally
proud because only $500 is annually
appropriated to the local library for
its maintenance, an amount as low as
the appropriation in any city of 20,-
600 for this purpose and even lower
than in many cities of only 5000 and
10000
Eau Claire ranks first With pop
ulation of 21,000 and a library OF
10000 volumes, its annual circulation
is recorded as $4,000 and its per Ca
pita circulation GA. The Eau Claire
appropriation for library purposes is
$10,500. Marinette with population
of 1860, appropriates $4,000 for the
support of its institution there, has
1880 volumes in its library and a
circulation of 76.llS or sc per capita.
Fond du Lac aprpopriates $12,500,
ranks third, has a population of 23, 400,
an annual library circulation of 1885,
200 and a library of $1,000 volumes.
Its per capita circulation is 5.3.
Record Remarkable
The figures for this table of COM
parative records was complied from
statistics of the year 1920 Wausau's
rank of fourth is all the more remark
able because during that year the Ii
brary was closed practically seven
full weeks With a city population of
1860, the Wausau Public Library
boasts a smaller, number of library
volumes than any of the three insti-
tutions already mentioned, there be-
ing only $4,000. It's appropriation for
library maintenance is but $500, only
$500 more than the Marshfield library
receives. It's circulation during 1920
was $4,000 volumes despite the fact
that the library doors were closed
seven weeks Per capita circulation
was 81.
The Library board is composed of
III. G. Fli:th, president; Miss Susan
Underwood, vice-president; A. v.
Gearhart, president: A. H Zim-
emann, Major F. L. Gottschalk, Mrs.
-. H. ItuUhSI4 anu MIS-. ,. M- QudW.
The board meets monthly
Need Improvements
The editor of The Pilot recently
visited the library for the express
purpose of finding out how the insti-
tuition is being maintained He finds
that new roof will shortly be neces-
sary inasmuch as there have been
frequent leaks sprung causing the de-
struction of books; that woodwork on
the exterior of the building should be
painted if it is to be protected against
further depredations; that there is
scarcely any available shelf room left
in the finished portion of the building
and that, therefore, books cannot be
kept in order despite the painstaking
attention of Miss Lansing and her few
assistants.
From year to year the Wausau Pub
lie Library becomes an increasingly
vital factor in municipal life. During
1921 the circulation of books amount
ed to over 100000 The average cir
culation per day was 1856 volumes and
on the best single day during the year
the circulation was 1,10S volumes.
Over $500 volumes were drawn by
readers outside of the city of Wausau.

In an address to over hundred
