Public Libraries Annual Report 1901 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from New York State Library 83d Annual Report, 1900: Transmitted to the Legislature January 2, 1901 by the Regents of the University The average yearly gifts to the library including pamphlets grew from 7101 in 1890 to in 1900, or 147075. The only item that has not grown is the average annual salary, which in 1889 was $1571 in the state library and in 1900, or less than half. Table J, p. 68, makes an interesting comparison of the number of books added in each of the 100 divisions during the past 11 years and also compares the totals of these additions with the totals of those of the 72 years (or almost three quarters of a century) preceding them.
