The trustees of the Public Library of the City of Boston, who are five in number, are appointed by the Mayor, one each year, for a term of five years. They were incorporated by an act of the General Court passed April 4, 1878, and are authorized to receive and hold real and personal estate which may be given, granted, bequeathed or devised to the said corporation, to an amount not exceeding $1,000,000. The first trustees were appointed under an ordinance of October 14, 1852. The old Library Building on Boylston street was opened to the public in September, 1858, and closed finally in January, 1895. The new Library Building on Copley square was first opened on March 11, 1895. The Library is maintained by an annual appropriation voted out of the general funds of the City by the City Council. About $30,000 of this appropriation was used in 1905 for the purchase of books and periodicals. The Library also holds trust funds aggregating $399,150, the interest of which is devoted to the purchase of books. The annual reports, the first of which appeared in 1852, have been continued without interruption. Of the Quarterly Bulletins, which were begun in 1867, fourteen volumes have been published. The series closed in 1896. A Monthly Bulletin is now issued. The trustees have issued also general and special catalogues of the Central Library, and of its branches and special collections, as well as hand-books for readers, and other documentS. LIBRAIRY SYSTEM. The Library system consists of the Central Library in Copley square; ten branch libraries with independent collections of books; seventeen stations, all of which contain deposits of books from the Central Library, while sixteen contain deposits, reference books and periodicals, and are classed as reading-rooms. Excluding the seventeen stations, there were, on May 1, 1906, in the Central Library and Branches, including the evening and Sunday service, 456 employees. Between the Central Library and these twenty-seven stations, by Library wagons and local expresses, there is a daily exchange of books and cards, whereby persons living in outlying districts can draw books from the Central Library without the necessity of coming in person. The delivery or deposit of books is also undertaken in one hundred and four public and parochial schools, twenty-nine institutions and forty fire company houses. Cards allowing the use of two books without restriction as to class, for two weeks, are issued to all residents of Boston with no further attendant delay than is involved in identification. No guaranty is asked, except in case of a sojourner. Such cards are also issued to non-resident pupils attending Boston schools who furnish guaranties. For reading and reference the Library is open to all without formality. Special cards for more extended privileges are issued to clergymen officiating in the City, and to teachers giving instruction in Boston institutions of learning; a special card is also issued in certain cases by the trustees. On February 1, 1906, there were 76,661 card-holders having the right to draw books for home use. The total number of volumes was 878,933, of periodicals currently received about 2,300. |
