REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD FOR THE YEAR 1908.

GENTLEMEN. THE past year has been one of the most eventful in the annals of the Library. On March 30th, Dr. James Bain (who had been our esteemed and efficient Chief Librarian since June, 1883,) left his office ill and never returned. His lamented death took place on the 22nd of May, 1908. A special committee to examine applications, and make enquiries as to filling the position, was appointed on the 21st of May. The Committee comprised Mr. Kelly, K.C., Mr. Gash, KC., Mr. Huestis and myself. In the meantime, Mr. C. Egerton Ryerson was appointed Acting Chief Librarian and filled that position from the 1st of April to the 21st of December. The Committee, after most laborious and painstaking consideration, on November 13th reported in favour of the appointment of Mr. George R'. -i,oc1ee, M.A., at a salary of $4,000 per annum. The appointment was confirmed by the Board on the same day and Mr. Locke immediately began to devote a portion of his time to our service, and on the 21st of December he assumed the full duties of his office. What we nave seen of the new Chief Librarian fully warrants me in assuring the Board and the public that we have made a most wise selection. The past year will alsQ be notable in the history of the library because of the progress made in the work of extending the privi leges of the institution. During this year the new Reference Library has been almost completed and will probably be fully equipped and ready for use in May, the College Street Branch was opened early in December, and the new Western Branch is so near completion that before the end of March it will be ready for occupation. The appreciation of the Branch Libraries is well illustrated by our experience at College Street, where during the first five weeks after the opening almost one thousand new tickets were issued to borrowers. The well ventilated and well lighted reading room, quiet and restful; the separate room for the ladies 6

and the children, and the privilege of handling and examining the books in consequence of the adoption of the open shelf system, have been the great contributing causes to this popularity. Therefore by the Spring of 1909 the people of this city will have many new advantages in that there will be not only the new Reference Library, which in point of beauty and utility will have few superiors on the continent, but three first class Branch Libraries in full operation: Yorkville, College Street and the Western, all as handsome architecturally and as well planned for economically and efficiently serving the people as those of any other city. Pursuant to unanimous resolution of the Board, Mr. E. Wyly Grier, R.C.A., has been commissioned to paint a portrait of Dr. Bain (to be hung in the new building). The unveiling of the picture will be a feature in the proceedings at the formal opening when an opportunity will be afforded to speak of his eminent services to the Library and to the community in terms which could not so aptly find a place in a mere business report such as the present. The accounts of the Library have been audited by the proper officers and the usual statement of receipts and expenditure and of assets and liabilities are appended Appended also is a statement of the circulation of the Central and five Branch Libraries for 1908, as compared with the pre ceding year. GLENHOLME FALCONBRIDGE, Chairman.

TORONTO TORONTO THE THE SHORT HISTORY OF THE TORONTO PUBLIC LIBRARY

A QUARTER of a century having elapsed since the establish ment of the Toronto Public Library in 1883, the Board of Manage ment deemed it a fitting time to give a short history of the rise and progress of this institution. Under the Free Libraries Act of 1882, it was provided that on the passage of a by-law by the citizens of any city, town or municipality, a Free Library could be established. On the 1st January, 1883, the citizens of Toronto passed the Free Library By-Law. The first meeting of the Board of Management was held in the City Hall on the 15th day of February, 1883, with the follow in11: members: His Worship the Mayor, Arthur R. Boswell in the chair. George D'Arcy Boulton, John Hallam, W. H. Knowlton, James Mason, John A. Mills, William Scully, John Taylor, George Wright, M.D. It was moved by Mr. Knowlton, seconded by Dr. Wright, "That inasmuch as the services rendered by Mr. John Hallam to the free library movement demand recognition at our hands and the information in his possession will be most valuable to the Board, he is hereby elected first Chairman of the Free Library of Toronto." The motion was unanimously carried and Mr. Hallam took the chair. On the 28th February he presented to the Board a very carefully prepared scheme for the establishment of the free library, setting forth at considerable length its aims and requirements and the necessary qualifications of a librarian. The Board, on the 26th day of June, 1883, appointed Mr. James Bain, Jr., Chief Librarian, at a salary of $2,000 per annum, and Mr. John Davy, Assistant Librarian and Secretary, at a salary of $1,000 per annum. These gentlemen held office till removed by death, the former in May, 1908, and the latter in August, 1898. The present Assistant Librarian and Secretary-Treasurer, Mr. C. Egerton Ryerson, was appointed on the 16th day of September, 1898. On March 6th, 1884, the building formerly occupied by the Mechanics Institute, at the north-east corner of Church and Ade laide ,-Streets, was formally opened by His Honour Lieutenant Governor John Beverly Robinson. On this occasion addresses 8 were delivered by Dr. Daniel Wilson, President of University College ; the Hon. G. W. Ross; Minister of Education ; Goldwin Smith, Esq., and Rev. Dr. Withrow. The late Mr. Alderman Hallam took, as above stated, a most prominent part in the promotion of the scheme of establishing the Library, donated some 2,000 books, was the first Chairman, and accompanied the late Mr. James Bain, then Chief-Librarian, to England, to complete the purchase of books, at a cost of $25,- 421.22, the sum of $50,000 having been placed to the credit of the Board by the Corporation of the City. At the dose of 1883 the number of books in the Circulating Library was 13,560, and in 1908 this number had increased to 78,349, and the Reference Library during the same period from 8,034 to 74,132. The total number of books, patents, pamphlets, etc., at the end of 1908 in the Central and Branch Libraries was 152,481. The number of ticket holders entitled to take books home in 1908 was 66,385, as compared with 5808 in 1884. The eirculation of books in 1884 was 179,506, in 1899 it had increased to 310,945, and in 1908 to 377,475. Branch Libraries were opened in St. Andrew's Ms,rket and St. Paul's Hall early in 1884, on Bolton Avenue and Dundas Street in 1888, and on the corner of Brunswick Avenue and College Street in 1900. The circulation in these Branches has steadily increased from year to year, showing the appreciation of the public in these facilities for obtaining books. The year 1903 was remarkable by reason of two events. First, the death of His Honour Judge McDougall, for eleven years a member of the Board, during which term he was four times elected Chairman. His great ability and long experience, com bined to make him a most valuable member of the Board. The second event was the generous offer from Mr. Andrew Carnegie, of $350,000, for a new Reference Library and three Branch Libraries, upon condition that the City of Toronto should guar antee an annual income of $35,000 for maintenance, and provide suitable sites for the buildings. The offer was accepted by the City Council in February, but no decision as to the site of the Reference Library was arrived at until late in 1904, when the property at the northwest corner of St. George and College Streets was selected, and purchased by the City at a cost of $75,000. I~ May, 1905, the Chairman of the Building and Finance C?mm1ttee _(Mr. H. '.f· Kelly), and the Chief Libra1ian (Dr. Bain) with the City Architect (Mr. Robt. McCallum) visited some of the larger cities of the Eastern States, for the purpose of inspecting the most important library buildings. 9

The Board prepared a programme of the requirements for the plans of the new Reference Library Building, and architects throughout the Dominion were asked to compete. Judges were appointed to adjudicate on the plans, and in May, 1906, reported in favour of the plans submitted by Messrs. Wickson & Gregg and A. H. Chapman, Toronto. These were accepted by the Board, contracts awarded in October, and the work proceeded with. The corner stone was laid on the 27th November, 1906, by the Honourable Chief Justice Falconbridge, in the presence of a distinguished gathering, presided over by His Honour Lieut. Gov. Wm. Mortimer Clark. It is expected that the building will be opened to the public in May next. This building will contain the administration offices, a spacious reading room, stack room, with a capacity of storing 300,000 books, rooms for patents, rooms for newspapers and fine arts, besides study rooms for those engaged in literary and research work. Under instructions from the Board of Control, the City Architect prepared plans for the Northern Branch Library, on Yorkville Avenue, which were submitted to the Library Board and approved on April 17th, 1906, tenders were accepted on June 15th, and the building was erected at a cost of $27,328.65. It was opened on June 13th, 1907, by the Chairman of the Build ing Committee, Mr. H. T. Kelly (in the absence of the Chairman of the Board, The Honourable Chief Justice Falconbridge) in the presence of a representative gathering. His Worship The Mayor (Mr. Emerson Coatsworth), Mr. B. E. Walker, and other gentle men also addressed those present, and. were eulogistic of the architecture of the building and its fittings, and of its appropriate ness for the purpose of a Library. The Northern Branch Library, which occupied rooms in St. Paul's Hall since 1883, was closed, and its contents transferred to the new building on Yorkville Avenue. Late in 1907 instructions were given to the City Architect to prepare plans for a similar building to be erected on the corner of Queen and Lisgar Streets, where the City had purchased a lot 100 x 130 for this purpose. This building will be completed about the month of March, 1909, and will replace the Branch on Dundas Street. The Board hopes to erect the third branch library during the year 1909, out of the grant of $75,000 from Mr. Andrew Carnegie, for the three branch libraries. The year 1908 has been a very eventful one, owing to the death of Dr. James Bain (who had been Chief Librarian since the 10 formation of the Library in 1883): he left his office on March 30th never to return, and died on 22nd May. He was regarded as a most efficient officer, and his death was a great loss to the Board. The Board held a special meeting on the 23rd day of May 1908, and adopted the following resolution, which was hantlsomely engrossed and forwarded to his widow. "That the Members of the Board of Management of the Toronto Public Library desire to place on record their very deep and heartfelt sorrow at the irreparable loss they have sustained in the removal by death of James Bain, D.C.L., Chief Librarian of this Library for the past twenty-five years. During this long period his devotion to the interests of the library, zeal for the spread of good and pure books, wise counsels and encouragement to all engaged in literary research, together with his kindliness of heart and uniform courtesy commanded the high respect and admiration of all who visited the Library." A special Committee was subsequently appointed by the Board to obtain a successor, and after most careful and thorough consideration, reported in November in favour of the appoint ment of Mr. George H. Locke, M.A., the Board adopted the recommendation and Mr. Locke assumed his duties before the end of the year. From April to December Mr. C. Egerton Ryer son, Assistant Librarian, filled the position. Under the provisions of the Free Libraries Act (now the Public Free Libraries Act R.S.O. 1897, Chap. 232), the general management regulation and control of the Library are vested in a Board called the Board of Management, and composed of the Mayor of the city, three other persons appointed by the City Council, three persons by the Public School Board or Board of Education, and two persons by the Trustees of the Separate School Board. The representatives from the City Council and Board of Education hold office for three years, while those from the Separate School Board for two years-the representa tives retiring in rotation at the end of their respective terms on the 31st of January. The Board of Management is required in the month of March of each year, to furnish the City Council with an estimate of the sum required for maintenance during the ensuing year, and the City Council is required to levy from year to year a special annual rate, sufficient to furnish the amount estimated by the Library Board for the annual expenditure, but not exceeding one half mill on the dollar upon the assessed value of all ratable real and personal property of the City, such rate being called "The Free Library Rate."

BOARD OF MANAGEMENT, 1908

In the year 1892 "The Free Libraries Act" was amended by the Legislature, by the insertion of a clause "That the Free Library Rate" in cities having a population of 100,000 or over shall be one quarter of a mill instead of one half mill as formerly, thus reducing this Library's revenue by one half. In addition to the Free Library Rate, there is a small revenue from the sale of magazines, borrowers' tickets, damage to books, fines of three cents a day for retaining books beyond the specified time, and a grant of $250 from the Ontario Legislature.
