Excerpt from Library Rooms and Buildings
IN starting a small library, a separate building is not necessary. A single room will often answer all purposes at first, especially for a neighborhood library whose users all know each other, and Where books are mainly taken out for home use, and are not read on the premises. If there is any choice as to location, a cheerful and attrae tive room should be selected, near the business centre of the district to be served. Very little furniture is required for a start. Any kind of desk for records, one or two plain tables for magazines and newspapers, a few common chairs, lamps for evening use, and such simple shelving as any carpenter can construct, are all that will be needed. To plan the shelving, reckon the number of volumes the library will have at first and will be likely to add during the first year or two, and allow 8 volumes to the foot (see p. Thus, if the library has 500 volumes, and hopes to get 300 more within a year, 100 linear feet of shelving will be sufficient for its present needs.
