ments for housing the Library
were the Library to become a
county agency were most uncer-
tain. In view of these conclusions,
the Board voted that "the Rock
vile Library Association should
remain under the auspices of the
town for the coming year Q951-
So and that situation shall exist
as long as it is mutually agree
able"
On November II, 1851 the Ii
brary Association held an Open
House at the Library to honor the
newly elected members of its
Board, to observe Book Week and
see the Library's large exhibit of
new Children'S books, and to cele-
brate the Library's fourteenth an.
niversary in the Academy Build
ing.
From the $50 books with which
it started, the Rockville Library
has grown to $3.50 at the end of
June, 1858. From the year, 1887,
when the Library moved to its
present quarters the circulation
has grown from 5000 books a
year to over $4,000. Where in 1924
the Association appropriated 81 a
month for the purchase of chill
dren's books, the Library bought
362 children's books in the fiscal
year just past-and almost all of
them cost 81! The ladies of the
Association earned $500 in 1919
selling ice cream act the Fair
Grounds. The Library was grant
ed $1,000 this year by Rockville's
Mayor and Council. In both cases
the money went for books, re.
pairs, supplies where it would do
the most good for the reading
public. Where the Library Asso-
citation hired its first Librarian
in 1887 and was open a few hours
a week, the Library now has a
Librarian and two part.time as.
sistants and the Library has been
open 26 hours a week since the
summer of 1851. Story Hour at.
tendance grows and grows and
grows and hundreds of Rockville
children participate in the Ii.
brary's summer reading program.
There were 1857 registered Dor
rowers at the end of the fiscal
year and that figure counts hus,
band and wife as one. Voting
membership in the Association
was reduced to 81 year in 1858,
making il available to all resi-.
dents who wish TO take an active
part in the administration of a
civic enterprise. The Library has
been improved in many ways as
the years have rolled by, but its
success today as an agency en-.
joyed by people of Rockville from
every area and every walk Of life
all goes BACK TO those days i'm the
little building on the school
grounds with the willing workers
who swepet floors and carried in
the wood between checking out
the books they'd begged for
