Library EXTENSION
HELD URGENT NEED
Trustees Report Enactment
of Five Year Plan Meces-
sary to Better Service.

The prompt enactment of the pro
posed five-year building and extension
program legislation for the develops
ment of the Public Library is stressed
as of the utmost Importance by the
library trustees. in their annual
report fled with the District Commits
sioners today. The report of the
trustees is signed by Justice Wendell
F.. Stafford. vice president Of the
board, and is accompanied by the
report of the librarian, DR.. George +,
Boweranan.
The legislation urged by the library
authorities seeks to make true in five
years the provision of the present
library law. which says that the
library shall consist of a central
library and such number of branch
libraries so located and so supported
as to furnish books and other printed
matter and information service con
venient to the homes and offices of all
residents of the District. Toward
this goal the librarian states that
some progress has been made during
the past year. t
That the District Commissioners
and their assistants have shown a
greater interest than ever before in
library advancement Is indicated by
suggestions emanating from the Dis
trict Building. including one that the
handsome Elizabethan dwelling OH
Sixteenth street. owned by the Dis
trict and occupied by the csretaker of
the reservoir, should. when no longer
needed for it's present purpose. be re-
modelled and enlarged for use as a
branch library that the abandoned
Tenleytown police station be used as
small branch. library. and that the
lots owned by the District between
Georgia and Sherman avenues and
Fairmont and Girard streets might be
used as a site for branch library.
The fiye-year building and extension
program bill, introduced in the House
late i'm the last short session by Rep
resentatiye Gibson. was presented to
a large number of civic bodies and has
been widely and uniformly indorsed.
THE bi1l," according to the libra
rian's report, 'is designed to author
i2e such appropriations as may be
necessary in the aggregate to provide
that within five years, beginning
with the fiscal year 1929, building
and extension program shall he put
into effect which will include the en-
largamentf of the central library
building to provide adequate space
for the housing of books, the service
to readers and the adminiStra ton of
large public library system; the
construction and equipment of suf-
ficient number of branch library
buildings, not exceseding l3. so located
as to provide library service to the
population residing in thickly built.
