Facts OF State

Johnston leads all the counties
in the State in the number Of
public libraries with IL. These IL
libraries-the three in Smithfield
and these located at Benson, Clay
ton, Four Oaks, Pine Level. and
Selma-had 33,518 volumes at the
end of the fiscal year June 80,
1858, or the equivalent of 81 per
capita.
The total circulation of the IL
libraries during the year was 1885,
744, or 2.3S per capita. Total in

Delaware and Rhode Island claim
to offer such services to 100 pef
cent Of their population.
There are three counties-Alex-
ander, Jones, and Madison-which
nave no public library within their
oorders nor any type of public
library service for their people.
There are five others-Polk, Mont
gomery, Robson, Brunswick and
Ashe-which do not have county,
wide public library services as
such but which do have commun-
lty Libraries within their borders.
johnston county has the largest
number of public libraries, with
II, followed by Rockingham with
8 and Randolph with 8. Halifax.
Pitt and Rowan each has 7.
An inter-county, regional pro-
gram is in effect in the extreme
east and west. The State Library
commission, which directs the
Statewide program, has establish
ed and now operates seven region
al libraries serving 10 counties.
There are ~ libraries, including
branches, within ;.:cse countics
The Commission feels this region
al plan is preferable for the SMALL
er and less wealthy counties in
that it enables the group to spend
the larger amounts which are ne
cessary to provide adequate pro-
fesSional Staffs.
Despite the obvious advantages
and desirability of the regional
approach, some of the smaller and
Sparsely populated counties are
dong very well on their own.

libraries.
At the end of fiscal 1853, there
were 2,494,99 volumes in the
States 266 public libraries, which
figures out to about 81 per capita.
At the same time, the total num-
Der OF registered automobiles in
the State was about 100000, or
the equivalent to about % per
capita, which is another way Of
saying that there are about three
times as many books in our lib
raries as there are automobiles.
In addition to these 266 public
libraries, there are 22 white college
and university libraries, 20 white

and live special libraries. The
total volumes possessed by these
SO libraries is 3,578,ll4.
Total circulation of the States
public libraries during fiscal 1853,
and this is the real measure of
the extent to which our people
read the books which are available
in their libraries, was lO,723,834,
which means turnover of slight
ly more than four times for each
volume. Assuming separate
reader for each circulation, we
arrive at the interesting figure of
2.64 books read per capita. AL
though there are no measurable
statistics available, it is known
that each book circulated is read
by more than one person, some
times several. This circulation rep
resentS an increase of 4.O5 per
cent above the previous year.
Almost half of the total cir
culatiOn, 5,331,466, was provid-
ed by boOkmobiles. Incidentally,
North Carolina leads the United
States in the number of book
mobiles in operation, 80, which
serve 81 counties.
Total current income for all
puolic Libraries during the fiscal
year 1858 was $l,894, 325, which
to S0.46 per capita. The
comparable figure for the previous
year was Sl,684,334, or SO.4l per
