Herein are contained a report of the State Library Board's ac­ tivities for the past year and the annual statistical report for each public library in the State. Respectfully submitted, JAMES A. ROGERS, Chairman EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT SOUTH CAROLINA STATE LIBRARY BOARD July 1, 1950- June 30, 1951 The South Carolina State Library Board was created by the State Legislature in 1929. It began its present operation in 1943 when it received its first appropriation. It is-administered by a Board of five citizens, appointed by the Governor upon the recommendation of the Superintendent of Education. A staff of six members, three of them professional librarians, carry out the program of the Board in extending and improving public library service in South Carolina.

WHAT THE STATE LIBRARY BOARD DOES The State Library, Board is charged with the responsibility to "create public libraries over the entire State ... and to de­ vise and carry into effect methods by which libraries may be extended to the rural districts of the State." In carrying out this program, t]le State Board- Has developed an intelligent plan for economical and efficient public library service for all citizens of the State. Provides professional direction and advisory services to the public libraries of the State. Administers State Aid to County Libraries and Regional Li­ braries. Sets up standards of service for the guidance of the public libraries. Maintains Book Deposit Service to communities in counties without countywide library service and to State Institutions with no libraries or with inadequate libraries. 1¥' orks with the counties in planning either the establishment of rural library service or the improvement of existing service. Maintains an inter-library loan service which makes any public library book available to any public library patron in the State. Cooperates with other State agencies and organizations in ser­ vice programs. 1¥' orks to the betterment of the State, economically, socially and educationally, by providing materials to insure the State an informed public able to deal intelligently with the problems of today. 6

WHAT THE BOARD HAS ACCOMPLISHED The Board's program of library extension and improvement based upon the larger unit of service-the county or regional library-has gained national recognition. Basically, the plan is one of the soundest in the country. Thirty-seven counties now have countywide library service and the thirty-eighth has recent­ ly appropriated money to establish this service. The Board is working closely with the counties in the H-Bomb area to estab­ lish or extend library service through cooperation with the Fed­ eral Government. Book Deposit service is given to communities in unserved areas and to eight State Institutions. In the eight years since the establishment of the Board, public library service has been extended to 288,435 more South Carolinians than previ­ ously had this service. Local support of public libraries has trip­ led and the book stock of public libraries has increased to 1,128,- 116. The annual circulation of books from the public libraries of the State was 4,809,871-1950-51. Statistics are a poor measure of a library's service to people of a State. The number of books cir­ ~ulated is minor to the information, education and recreation 7 provided through the county and regional library systems w:ith their branches and bookmobiles making books and reading readily available to all the people whether they live in towns, villages or remote rural areas. • STATE AID The program of State Aid to County and Regional Libraries begun in 1943 has been instrumental in the development of the system of county and regional libraries which now serve all but nine of the State's forty-six counties. The objective of the State Aid program has been from the beginning to stimulate the devel­ opment of large units of public library service with staff, equip­ ment and books adequate to render modern public library ser­ vice. In part the objective has been accomplished. Small, inade­ quate and poorly supported village, municipal and township libraries have joined together to form county library systems with a basis of support wide enough to furnish financial sup­ port more adequate to meet the costs of public library service. In two incidents county libraries have joined together to form regional libraries which have been able to give better service at lower cost to the people of the entire region. As far as accom­ plishing better organization for library service is concerned, the results of State Aid have been out of all proportion to the amount of State funds going into the program. On the other hand, library service which can be judged ':adequate" by any recog­ nized library standards has not been achieved. This is partially due to the insufficiency of the State Aid grant and to the fail­ ure of local appropriating bodies to make available sufficient funds to support more than minimum public library service. State Aid is in two forms: Regional Library Establishment Grants to encourage the voluntary combination of two or more counties for more effective library service; Regional Mainte­ nance Grants and State Aid Grants to County Libraries for book purchase and salaries of professional personnel. State Aid is only granted to county and regional libraries which meet certain minimum standards of service. County libraries which qualify for State Aid may receive up to $1,000 in State Aid annually on a matching basis. A cash allotinent is made di­ rectly to county libraries which are well established and in 8 charge of a trained ·librarian. The smaller county libraries in charge of non-professional personnel receive the same amount ($1,000) in books, and as an additional service, the State Library Board purchases and processes the books and ships them to the library completely ready for circulation.

STATE AID REQUIREMENTS County Library Boards applying for State Aid agree to the following:

I. To work toward the consolidation of all public libraries in the. county to form a strong county library system which will ensure better service for all. II. To work for increased support of the library and toward eventual tax support or to union with the adjoining county or counties if a tax levy in a single county would not provide adequate support.

COMMUNITY BOOK DEPOSITS The Community Book Deposit Service of the State Library Board is bringing books to communities and State Institutions which otherwise have little library service or none at all. De­ posits of books, varying in size from 100 to 1000 volumes, are placed in the community or institution and are exchanged every three months for new collections. This service is under the per­ sonal supervision of a professional librarian from the staff of the State Library Board who visits the deposit station, talks with the custodian, and makes every effort to see that the books fit the needs of the community or institution.

Communities taking advantage of this service: Bamberg County-Bamberg Barnwell County-Williston Chesterfield County--Chesterfield, Cheraw, McBee, Pageland Clarendon County--Manning, Paxville, Sardinia, Summerton Dorchester County-Harleyville, St. George, Summerville Edgefield County-Edgefield, Johnston Williamsburg County-Kingstree 11

State Institutions using this service : State Hospital State Penitentiary Industrial School £or Boys Summer Orthopedic Camp £or Children Crippled Children's Convalescent Home State Training School School £or Dea£ and Blind

LOANS TO INDIVIDUALS Persons living in counties which do not yet have countywide library service may borrow books directly £rom the State Li­ brary Board. Loans are made by mail and may consist o£ one book £or an individual or a collection o£ books £or a family or a club group.

INTERLIBRARY LOAN A great, and ever increasing, need o£ the State, is a central reference and research library properly sta££ed and with ade­ quate collections both o£ books and reference materials to meet the need o£ reference and research facilities by the people and in­ dustries o£ the State. Such a library would contribute directly to the industrial progress o£ the State and to the development o£ more e££ective programs by the various State departments. At present no public library and no college library in the State can a££ord to supply the materials and services needed by the business and! industry o£ the State £or reference and research. Such service could be rendered most effectively by a central reference library at state level which could serve state govern­ mental agencies, business and industry and the people o£ the State, through collecting, organizing and making available the books and periodicals recording the results o£ research and ex­ perience in many fields. Such material, made generally avail­ able throughout the State, would aid materially in the progress o£ the State. At present the need £or material on special subjects is partially met through an interlibrary loan system among the libraries o£ the State which is operated by the State Library Board. Loans are arranged and made between libraries to £ill the requests o£ patrons. In theory, this service makes any book 12

It is o£ mutual benefit to libraries and their patrons and results in more effective service at lower cost.

INFORMATION AND ADVISORY SERVICES To existing libraries: The smaller county and municipal libraries, still in charge o£ untrained personnel, depend wholly on the State Library Board £or professional guidance and assist­ ance. The Board serves as a source o£ professional information on all phases o£ library procedure and practice. Selective lists o£ books £or purchase are prepared and advice is given on firms which allow the best discounts to libraries. Assistance to li­ braries in reorganizing book collections and entire libraries, advice on new and better processes and guidance in the general improvement o£ library services, are all £unctions o£ the State Library Board. Assistance is constantly sought by local library boards on budget making, book purchase, employing librarians, library reorganization and staff regulations and procedures. The staff o£ the State Library Board works closely with the library boards and staffs o£ newly established libraries and is 13 largely responsible for the organization and operational pro­ cedures of new county and regional libraries. Information and help in organizing library services are given by the staff to individuals and organizations in counties which do not have countywide library service and which are interested in establishing it. The professional staff of the1 State Library Board serves as consultant librarians for library boards which are planning new buildings, new equipment and new bookmobiles.

CENTRALIZED SERVICES At the offices of the State Library Board in C ~lumbia, the State Aid program, the Interlibrary Loan System, and the Book Deposit Service are planned and administered. Books for State Aid to 18 counties, for, the Book Deposit Service and for the Board's own collection of reference material are selected, or­ dered and processed. An average number of books prepared for use during one year is around 20.000 volumes. Book collections to meet a special need in a county library are gotten up, packed and shipped. Requests for interlibrary loan of materials are checked and the books shipped. Financial records of the State Board are kept and monthly and annual reports made of ex­ penditures and activities of the Board. Publicity copy and public relations suggestions are prepared and made available to the public libraries. Work shops and in-service training programs are planned for public library personnel. The office of the Board is open six days a week from . 8 :30 to 5 :30 to serve the public libraries, librarians and library trustees of the State.

LIBRARIES AND THE H BOMB The Savannah River Project will directly affect three South Carolina counties. The counties officially included in the area are Aiken, Allendale and Barnwell. Other counties in the area; though not officially included, will also be affected by the de­ velopment of the H Bomb project. Of the counties directly affected, only Aiken and Allendale Counties have countywide library service. Four counties out of the nine counties in the State still with~ut countywide library service are in the general area of the project. The State Library Board and the people in all of the counties concerned have been 14 working since the announcement of the project toward some form of Federal financial assistance which will allow library service to be established or extended to the unserved people in the area and to the new people coming into the area in connection with the H Bomb project. The librarians, trustees, members of the delegation, and inter­ ested citizens in each county have been kept fully informed of developments both at state and national level affecting libraries in the H\ Bomb area. A report of library conditions in each county and of anticipated needs was made and submitted to the Federal Security Agency in all counties concerned. Plans are nearing completion for either an addition to present library buildings or for completely new library buildings which will be constructed if Federal funds become available. At the same time statements concerning the need of additional personnel, equipment, and books have been prepared. In Aiken county, where funds had already been appropriated for the extension and renovation of the present library building to house countywide library service before the H Bomb project was announced, plans for the work on the library building have been completed. Since libraries are specifically named as an essential com­ munity facility in the Defense Housing and Community Facili­ ties Act there is reason to hope that Federal funds will be allo­ cated to libraries in the areas if library boards are able to present a well documented case in support of their request.

FEDERAL LEGISLATION AFFECTING LIBRARIES Libraries included in final Defense Housing and Community Facilities Act: Libraries were specifically included in the De.­ fense Housing and Community Facilities Act passed by both houses of Congress in August 1951. This is the first time libraries have been recognized as one of the vital community facilities along with water supply, sewage treatment, health, recreation .and police protection. The passage of this bill did not provide huge sums of money to the libraries in impacted areas, but it does help. $100,000,000 was provided for community facilities-which includes libraries. L~brary Service Bill (S. 1452): The Library Service Bill was introduced in the Senate in May by Senator Lister Hill (D) 15

of Alabama, Senator Aiken (R) of Vermont and Senator Doug­ las (D) of Illinois. On August 17, eight Library Services Bills were introduced in the House. The Bills are identical and are similar to the Senate Bill ( S. 1452). The success in keeping libraries in the Defense Housing and Community Facilities Act, improves the possibility for getting the Library Services Bill passed by Congress. This Bill is designed to promote the strengthening and extension o£ library service to people in need of additional informational, technical, and morale building library materials. What passage of the Bill will mean in South Carolina: South Carolina would be eligible for the initial allotment of $40,000, plus $131,214 on the basis of rural population, or a total of $171,214 from federal funds. The State Library Board would submit a plan for the use of the funds to the Commissioner of Education, and the program would be administered by the State Libra.ry Board.

LIBRARY BUILDING PROGRAM The Chester County Library now occupies new quarters in the building which was completed in December 1951. The whole lower floor of the war memorial building is given over to the county library and was especially planned for county library service. The library is beautifully furnished in "Swedish Mod­ ern" style. Bright colors, good lighting, and attractive display cases make this one of the most attractive libraries in the State. Construction was begun on the Richland County Library building in Columbia. This building will be the largest public library building in the State when completed. The plans were carefully worked out to provide easy supervision and admini­ stration of county library service. Plans are being drawn up for an addition to the Dibble Me­ morial Library Building in Aiken which, when constructed, will house public library service for Aiken and Aiken County. Plans are being completed for the new building which will house the Georgetown City-County Library. An interesting feature of this plan is the incorporation of the old Georgetown County gaol, a building dating from colonial times, in the new 16

New Headquarters of the Chester County Library. library building. A feature of this building will be the chil­ dren's room which opens on a garden court. A small auditorium seating 200 is included in the plan.

LIBRARY PROGRESS DURING YEAR The new building for the Chester County Library was com­ pleted. Construction was begun on the new Richland County Library building. Branch libraries were opened for negroes in Mullins, Dillon, Hampton and Clinton. Public libraries of the State were asked to serve as information centers for the Civil Defense program. Through the cooperation of the Sign Department of the State Penitentiary a standard metal sign was developed to mark book­ mobile stops. A work shop for public librarians was held at Clemson in May. 17

STANDARDS FOR PUBLIC LIBRARIES* "The essence of the many standards for public libraries may be compressed into three basic elements, all of which are neces­ sary in a planned program of library development: 1. Complete public library coverage. 2. Library service of adequate quality and dynamic quality. 3. Large units and cooperation in library service.

Registration "Registration standards are affected by city size, age groups and the educational levels of adult population ... The number of registered borrowers in public library units should meet the following minimum quantitative standards, based on a three­ registration period:

*Post-War Standards for Public Libraries, American Library Association, 1943. 18

For adult borrowers: 20 to 40 per cent o£ the population 15 years o£ age and over. For juvenile borrowers: 37 to 75 per cent o£ the population £rom 5 through 14 years o£ age. For both adult and juvenile borrowers the per cent o£ the pop­ ulation registered will tend to rise as the population o£ the unit served decreases.

Number of Books "The total book stock o£ a public library should be sufficient to insure at all times an adequate collection £or consulation and home use. The number o£ volumes per capita in a public library should meet the minimum standards shown in the following table:

Population o£ Library Area Volumes per Capita 6,000- 10,000 3.0 up to 25,000 volumes 10,000- 35,000 2.5 up to 70,000 volumes 35,000- 100,000 2.0 up to 175,000 volumes 100,000- 200,000 1.75 up to 300,000 volumes 200,000-1,000,000 1.5 up to 1,000,000 volumes Over 1,000,000 1.0 volumes "The minimum size o£ the book stock o£ any public library as an independent unit, should be 6,000 volumes regardless o£ the population served. A smaller collection cannot be expected to achieve the objectives here set forth .

.Circulation of Books "The circulation o£ books £or home use in public library units should meet the following minimum quantitative standards: For adult books: 3 to ] 0 volumes per capita £or the population o£ 15 years o£ age and over. For children's books: 10 to 30 volumes per capita £or the population £rom 5 through 14 years o£ age. For both adult and children's books the circulation per capita will tend to rise as the population o£ the unit served de­ creases. 19

Hours of Service "At least 40 man hours o£ public service should be provided annually for each 100 persons in the total population served by a public library. Not more than 60 per cent o£ this public ser­ vice time should be devoted to circulation procedure."

LIBRARY INCOME''' "The following minimum per capita standards o£ support are recommended for varying stages o£ development o£ library ser­ vice in areas with 25,000 population and over: For limited or minimum service______$1.50 per capita For reasonably good service ______2.25 per capita For superior service ------3.00 per capita At $1.50 per capita, 65 % o£ income used for salaries, ex­ clusive o£ maintenance; 17.5% for books, periodicals and bind­ ing.*

Minimum lncome-$25,000 In libraries serving areas where $25,000 cannot be raised un­ der the permissible tax levy, consideration should be given to one o£ two alternatives: enlarge the area o£ service and support by £ormation of a library district; or contract for library ser­ vice from a larger unit."
