iS!atuYe who have recognized and
met their obligation Of guardian
ship of the unrepresented residents
of the seat of Government.
Your honorable body has greatly
strengthened the library by for
warding the building Of the new
central library, increasing the oper-
atinC funds for books and binding
and for securing the appropriation
fC- the site OF the much-needed
AnaCoStia branch. We are happy
to record our appreciation OF the
expert planning of the new building
by the municipal architect. Nathan
C. Wyeth. and his skilled staff.
The trustees feel a landmark
has been reached in the cOnstruc-
ton now under way of the first
unit Of the new central library
building. They are deeply gratified
by the notable assistance Of Col.
Frederic A DelanO and other Ii
brary conscious WashingtonianS, the
Board of Trade and its Library
Committee, the Federation Of Citi-
ZenS' Associations, its officials and
the many sectional citizens Organi-
zations in its membership. the Gen.
tral Labor Union. the American
Federation of Labor and all labor
groups. our notably active Women's
organizations. etc-all of whom
have recognized the value of library
service and have given the new
building effective backing during
the past several years.
Hopes for Completion.
In deep satisfaction for all that
has already been accomplished, the
trustees hope for the continued sup
port of all groups in pushing on to
completion the construction of the
entire building, and in developing
the service Of the library to its
maximum usefulness.
The trustees note with hearty
appreciation the intelligent, faith
ful and efficient laborS OF the IL
brarian and her able staff in main
tanning the high standards estab-
liShed by the former librarian, DR..
George F. Bowerman, and in in
creasing the scope and practical
value of the library's community
use in a time of great disturbance
Of public thought and of chaotic
conditions in all the world"
"A public library is a powerhouse
for living" Miss Herbert's report
began. 1T has the materials with
which man can prepare himself for
greater economic security and for
cultural and spiritual advancement.
Each individual must have some
knowledge of the past out of which
the present was born, much knowl-
edge of the present into which he
must fit his life and a horizon OF

Ralph L. Thompson, who was quoted
in the report.
The seven ajor library branches
circulated 1852 ,538 volumes and the
five minor branches 288,503 it was
reported, although the latter are
open to the public only 81 hours
week.
Chevy Chase serving a popula-
ton of over 1900, and Woodbridge,
serving over $4,000, each CirCulat-
ing around 100000 volumes year,
should have additions to their staffS
sufficient TO keep them open 70 hours
weekly" Miss Herbert said.
The sub branch at TenleytoWn,
housed in an abandoned police sta
ton. has entirely outgrown its build
ing. - Conduit road will require
new branch in the near future 80
Takoma Park the oldest of all the
branches, requires a substantial ad-
dition," the report continued.
All of the other main branches
record a phenomenal demand for
material bearing on defense sub
jects, such as living conditions in
Jamaica. Puerto Rico, Trinidad Is
land and Panama. where men are
taking defense jobs; on the use of
aluminium and other industrial
products in the national defense
program: on air raid shelters, etc"
One of the chief events of the
year was the opening of the South
western Branch at Seventh and H
streets S.W.. which was put in
charge of Miss Virginia Mclaughlin.
Gifts Acknowledged.
The report acknowledged a num-
ber of gifts during the year. Among
these were $4,000 from the Miner
fund. a portion of which was to
compile biographies of the persons
for whom Negro schools here were
named. Mrs. Theresa Wilson Brown
is in charge of this.
The Women's Board Of George
Washington University Hospital, The
Washington Star. the Washington
Post, L. Stoddard Taylor. Edmund
Plohn and Frank RizZo also made
gifts to the library.
Organizations such as the Chevy
Chase Women'S Club, the George
town Garden Club and the Petworth
Citizens Association also made con-
tributions
Public funds are always in
adequate to enable the library to
take advantage of many opportun-
tiles. Such gifts are. therefore, ex-
tremely helpful" it was stated.
The library acquired total of
63 200 books from the congressional
appropriation of s72,500, making
purchases at somewhat lower rate
than in previous years.
The standards of personnel re-
cruitment are kept high" Miss Her
bert stated, with consideration of
potentialitieS for the future, as we'll
as competency for the immediate
position. All subprofessional and
professional workers are college
graduates"

Budwesky said he expected some
of the municipal projects to obtain
high priorities ratings because OF the
Government workers and employees
at the naval torpedo plant and near
by military reservations.
He said he did not expect a Sc
rious curtailment OF street construc-
ton and added that the first expect
ed effect would be curtailment OF
roadway reinforcing materials.
We'll just have to work with sub
stitutes," Mr.. BudWesky said.
Permits Drop Sharply.
Despite Arlington County's record
building year, fewer construction
permits were issued last week than
in any similar period in recent years,
the building inspectors office re-
ported.
Some builders have misconstrued
the Governments order and have
inquired whether the Arlington
building inspector is refusing TO is
sue permits. The Office will continue
to issue permits to all applicants who
meet requirements of the county
building code as in the past, an Off
| cial explained 1t is up to the builder
to obtain his materials, he added.
When the Arlington Fairfax =
Alexandria Real Estate Board met
Friday night the curtailment of pri-
Vate construction was discussed, but
no formal action was taken, Secre-
tary w. S. Hoge, jr., said. Several
of the Virginia realtors reported de-
| laws in receiving materials. The re-
duction in numbers of building per-
mitS issued was attributed to the
uncertainty of obtaining materials.
/ While Arlington and Alexandria
| have each applied for several million
/ dollars of Federal Works Agency
/ fundS-ayailable under the Lanham
/ Act for defense purposes, public
/ officials would not hazard guess
as to the effect of the Government
order on their chances of obtaining
! these grants.
/ F. w. A. Grants Sought.
/ Alexandria government depart
ments have filed separate applica-
/ tions for F. w. A. grants for a
/ hospital addition, schools, a sewage

cation has applied for S941 900 for
three new schools and eight addi-
tions. The County Board has ap-

1T is the library'S peculiar func-
ton at this time TO help people TO
adjust themselves to these changes,
to furnish the basis for Sounder pub
lie opinion and to engender. through
the reading of the great literature
of the past. stability and high mo-
rale. The library must, therefore.
so build up its collections and Serv-
ices as to relate them vitallY 10 COM
munitv needs. In so doing it rem
derS a service essential to the MAIN
tenance of democracy.
1T is doubtful whether any IL
brarian ever turned over the lead
ership of public library in a sound
er state than did Dr.. George F..
BoWerman upon his retirement from
the public library of the District of
Columbia in October. 1940." Miss
Herbert said. During MS admin
iStration OF over 80 years he had
established principles and policies
and set up standards that made the
library one of the foremost in the
country
Art Room Popular.
Miss Herbert reported that the
art reading room was thronged and
that over 205 900 pictures were cir
culated to teachers. III addition to
about 1000 prints in color loaned
for lectures. The American Indian
art exhibition in the central library,
loaned by Renee 'HarnoncOurt,
proved exceedingly popular.
The music division loaned over
5000 volumes of books and over
At 900 pieces of sheet music. the
report said. Some 1900 persons
came to the library to listen to re-
cordingS.
Quoting Miss Louise P. Latimer,
the director of work with children.
Miss Herbert pointed out the need
for branches in populouS neighbor-
hoods. such as Brookland, AnacoStia
and Benning. so that books would
be more readily available to chill
dren.
During the year 1.393.931 VOL
umes were circulated" Miss Herbert
reported, ''728,119 through the GEN.
tral and branch childrens rooms,
653 ,620 through loans to 1872 class
rooms in 1873 schools and 1892
through loans to child-serving agen-
cieS."
Miss Herbert quoted Miss Mildred
Page to explain library service to
crippled children at Gallinger Hos
pital, made possible by the Twen-
tieth Century Club, and George
Moreland, jr., to describe other work
on special youth problems.
The work of the conSultant on
adult education, Mrs. Helen T.
Steinberger, also received comment,
as did the library's work in serving
local associations.
