The pamphlet is not intended as a critical history and an effort has been made to keep superfluities out of it. In the text, the titles, institutions, and addresses of persons mentioned are given only when the names of such persons are not included in the roll of members. The " Bibliographical Index" gives the periodical location of additional information on subjects relating to the Association and to many of the papers read at its meetings. References to periodical articles dealing with the life and work of deceased members are also included in it. No doubt in years to come the history of the Association will be written more completely. To the end that it may be done accurately the editor will welcome corrections and addi- tions. W. F. S. A Survey The first circulating library in America was established in Philadelphia in 1731 under the leadership of Benjamin Franklin. The organization was known as the Library Company of Philadelphia and the library was conducted on a plan similar to that of the modern mercantile library. The town of Darby followed with the organization of the Darby Library Company in 1742, and in 1769, the town of Chester organized the Library Company of Chester. The library idea seems to have become popular, other communities falling in line, until in 1763 nearly every town in the colony possessed a library. Most of these early institutions have passed away, but the first two are still in existence. Of the numerous other libraries organized before 1800, a number are still operating, some as subscription and some as free libraries. The first circulating libraries were, as noted, subscription libraries or stock companies, but as early as 1742 the Society of Friends conducted a free library, which was the beginning of the Friends' Free Library of Philadelphia. The Appren- tices' Library of Philadelphia was organized as a free library in 1820; in 1835 the Library Association of Friends was estab- lished, and in 1852 the Philadelphia City Institute Library came into existence. The first legal recognition of free libraries came in 1864 with the passage of a law authorizing school boards to accept and administer gifts of books, money or other property for free library purposes. Under this law, however, but few libraries, and those inadequate, were organized before 1895. In 1 876 the first move in the great awakening in library af- fairs was made. In that year a number of the leading librarians of the United States met at the Pennsylvania Historical So- ciety's rooms and organized the American Library Association. 7 1 * ^ ** 1 * V Hv There were only- a few. librarians present at that meeting, but at that time there were comparatively few librarians. In the whole country there were but about sixty free libraries that had more than 12,000 volumes, and in Pennsylvania there was none. With the establishment of the Osterhout Free Library in Wilkes-Barre, in 1887, the modern free library movement in this state may be said to have really commenced, though the earlier free libraries must not be overlooked. In 1889 the libraries in Braddock and Scranton were founded. The Free Library of Philadelphia was started in 1891 and taken over by the city in 1894. Following these examples, other cities came into line, until to-day there are four hundred and twenty- six public and society libraries, and two hundred and ninety- five school libraries ; a total of seven hundred and twenty-one, of which one hundred and fifty-two are free. In this total number of libraries there are 6,559,600 volumes, 388,000 of which are in school libraries. The stimulus that came to the library movement through the generosity of Andrew Carnegie has been quite as generally felt in Pennsylvania as in any other state. His first gift of a library building in the United States was to Braddock in 1889. Braddock, Homestead, Carnegie, and Duquesne possess the only libraries endowed by Mr Carnegie. The Carnegie Library in Allegheny was founded in 1890 and the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh in 1895. At least a dozen other cities have Carnegie library buildings, and Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are indebted to him for their twenty or thirty branch buildings. With the broadening of the free library spirit in 1876 came a demand for professional training. Among the numerous train- ing schools for librarians the one at the Drexel Institute, in Philadelphia, ranked among the foremost. Few schools of its kind exerted a more generally recognized influence from the year of its organization in 1892 to the year 1914, when a change of policy in the Institute discontinued the school. The apprentice class for children's librarians in the Carnegie Li- brary of Pittsburgh became so generally serviceable that in 1901 it was endowed by Mr Carnegie and is now known as 8 the Carnegie Library School. It has the distinction of being the only school of its kind. In 1899 the Legislature made provision for a Free Library Commission, to encourage the free library movement and to maintain a system of traveling libraries. The latter work was undertaken first; the work with free libraries not being begun till 1907 when it was commenced under the direction of Helen U. Price, who was succeeded in 1910 by Anna A. MacDonald. The first secretary of the Commission, the State Librarian hold- ing that position e^-officio, was Dr George E. Reed, 1899- 1904: he was succeeded by the present secretary, Thomas L. Montgomery. In 1893 the Pennsylvania Library Club was organized, but although it was expected that the club would become a state organization, it finally limited its influence to the city of Phila- delphia and environs. The Western Pennsylvania Library Club was organized to meet the needs of the librarians west of the Alleghenies, but after three years of usefulness, from 1896 to 1898, it was dis- continued. On April 5-6, 1897 a meeting of the Pennsylvania Library Club was held conjointly with the New Jersey Library Asso- ciation at Atlantic City. Out of one hundred and twenty-four librarians present fifty-two were from Pennsylvania. This joint meeting, which has continued ever since, is now generally known as the Bi-State Library Meeting. 1901 Organization To meet the needs of persons interested or working in libraries in Pennsylvania it seemed necessary that a state as- sociation should be organized. The Western Pennsylvania Li- brary Club and the Pennsylvania Library Club met the needs of libraries in the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia districts only. The demand for an organization to meet the needs of the whole state was set forth in a circular sent to the libraries throughout the state. The result was a conference held in the Grand Atlantic Hotel at the Bi-State Library Meeting at Atlantic City, March 22-25, 1901. The Keystone State Li- brary Association was there organized in the forenoon of Sat- urday, March 23. The name was suggested by Isabel Ely Lord, then librarian of Bryn Mawr College. The following librarians were present on that occasion: Hannah P. James, Alice B. Kroeger, Dr Edward J. Nolan, Sarah E. Coding, Rose G. Stewart, Henry J. Carr, Mrs Henry J. Carr, Isabel Ely Lord, Thomas L. Montgomery, John Thom- son, Emma R. Neisser, W. G. Forsyth, Florence Humphries and Anna Meehan. 1901 Harrisburg The first annual meeting of the Keystone State Library Association was held in the State Library at Harrisburg. The meeting opened with a reception in the State Library tendered by the Pennsylvania Free Library Commission. The guests were received by Dr George E. Reed, president of the Associa- tion, Mrs Reed and John Thomson, president of the Commis- sion. A musical program was followed by a supper served in the newspaper room, where a number of speeches were made. The 10 address of the evening was delivered by John Wesley Hill, D. D., now president of the International Peace Forum, New York.

G. Rosengarten Trustee, Free Library of Philadelphia Read by George E. Reed, Librarian, State Library, Harrisburg 1902 Williamsport As the receipts were not sufficient to pay all expenses an appeal was made to librarians and friends to aid the associa- tion financially. Liberal responses came from a number of friends both in and outside of the Association. George F. Bowerman was responsible for a motion that it was the sense of the Association that librarians should not pub- lish lists of fiction in the local papers, as the printing of such lists gave additional advertisement to novels already over- advertised. Library institutes were discussed and the Executive Board was authorized to establish library institutes whenever feasible. The thanks of the Association were tendered to the Car- negie Library of Pittsburgh for having printed gratuitously the program and proceedings of the last meeting. During the year, in accordance with the missionary aims of the Association, Isabel Ely Lord, on behalf of the Association, addressed the State Federation of Women's Clubs at Titusville on the subject of traveling libraries, and at the same time so- licited their cooperation in securing a larger appropriation from the state for that work. The Federation passed a resolu- tion in favor of more liberal support of the State Library Com- mission. Mrs Rudolph Blankenberg addressed the Association as a representative of the Federation of Women's Clubs. ii The annual dues were increased from $.50 to $1.00. A trolley ride was provided by the hotel manager and the Public School Library was visited en route, where an informal recep- tion was held. Through the initiative of John Thomson, a committee, com- posed of Mr Thomson, Albert R. Durham and Mary Krich- baum, was appointed to induce librarians of traveling libraries to become honorary members of the Keystone State Library Association, without dues. Later the Committee decided that to extend such invitations would be inadvisable and the matter was dropped. The Executive Committee reported that it had sent out a questionnaire to all the libraries in the state for the purpose of securing material for a handbook of Pennsylvania libraries and that about two hundred libraries had replied. The Com- mittee was ordered continued. John Thomson, William M. Stevenson and A. R. Durham were appointed a committee to obtain the assistance of twenty smaller libraries or branch libraries in testing a proposed scheme of differentiation of fiction according to the decimal system of classification.

Neisser Free Library of Philadelphia 1903 Gettysburg The Secretary reported that material for a "Tentative List" of libraries in the state had been collected. It was ordered printed under the direction of the State Library, Joseph G. Rosengarten contributing the $50 it was estimated to cost. The list when printed made a pamphlet of forty or fifty pages. The report on institutes was presented by Robert P. Bliss, who said that the first institute of the year was held at the Drexel Institute in Philadelphia, where the representation from small libraries in the vicinity of the city had been very encour- aging. The next institute was held at the California State Normal School, where the attendance consisted largely of stu- dents. This program was conducted by Elisa M. Willard, of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, and Anna M. Shutterly, librarian of the Normal School. Fully ninety students at- tended the sessions, and as the institute was not made a part of the school work, the attendance indicated genuine interest. Mr Bliss added that meetings held by the several district library clubs and associations tended to diminish the necessity for institutes ; and also that while the association meetings paid for themselves the institutes involved considerable expense. The future of institute work was left in the hands of the Executive Committee but owing to the conditions pointed out by Mr Bliss comparatively few have been held. In Thomas L. Montgomery's remarks on traveling libraries he said, speaking of the Pennsylvania Free Library Commis- sion, "The history of the Commission is rather a remarkable one. In 1899 Mr Thomson and myself prepared a bill which we handed to Senator Christopher Magee for submission to the Legislature requesting authority to form a State Library Commission. The bill was put nineteenth on the list and when it finally came up for consideration it was passed as No. 68. The aid rendered by Clinton Rodgers Woodruff during the final stages of its passage through the Legislature was in- valuable. The bill did not carry with it an appropriation and the work of the Commission was conducted for two years with a small fund obtained from sources other than those of the state. In 1891, the Legislature appropriated $3,000 for this work. At the last session $12,000 was granted for the work of the Commission for a period of two years. With the funds at hand we have been able to send out only one hun- dred traveling libraries to one hundred and five places. The secretaries of the Young Men's Christian Associations in the coal regions have aided us in getting the libraries used. What is needed is an agent to follow up the libraries, with advice and directions that will make them of most service." The Committee on Differentiation of Fiction reported that at its request O. R. Howard Thomson had read, classified and catalogued the collection of fiction at the Wagner Institute Branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia, which collection consisted of between 4,000 and 5,000 volumes. The Free Li- brary of Philadelphia had had printed in dictionary form the catalogue prepared by Mr Thomson ; each book being entered under author, title and subject. The chief descriptive notes appeared under the author entries but short characterizations were also given under the subject headings. An index to some 2,000 historical characters mentioned in the novels catalogued was added later, the copy presented to the meeting being 14 "proof -unread." The Committee reported that with this cata- logue it would be possible to put to an actual test the value of the idea of classifying fiction. The Committee was discharged and then reappointed, Frances J. Olcott, Edith Ridgway and Myra Poland being added to it. When printed finally the book consisted of viii+ 308 pages and a second edition was called for in 1904. The sessions of this meeting were held in the lecture room of the College Church. The meeting closed with a few appropriate remarks by Mr Montgomery, the incoming president, and a vote of thanks to Miss Lord, the outgoing president, for a gavel presented by her to the Association.

The visiting librarians were entertained at a reception given in the Club by the Board of Directors of the Osterhout Library. A luncheon was also served in their honor. On Saturday morning after inspecting the buildings of the Osterhout Free Library and the Wyoming Historical and Geological Society Library, the librarians met in the reference room of the Osterhout Free Library. An amendment to the constitution providing for a change from a secretary-treasurer to a secretary and a treasurer was presented at this meeting to be voted on at the next annual meeting. On Saturday afternoon the librarians were taken over the Laurel Electric Line to Scranton, where they enjoyed a visit to the Public Library and the International Correspondence Schools. The few librarians who did not take the trip to Scran- ton held an informal social hour in the reference room of the library. Program Welcome ----------- Rev. Henry L.

The discussion of inter-library loans created such interest that a committee was appointed to encourage this kind of library service. Charles E. Wright, Florence A. Watts, Marian S. Skeele, Mrs Jean A. Hard and Elmira W. Penny- packer comprised the committee. The customary "free after- 20 noon" was occupied by the librarians in visiting branch libraries, the Homestead Steel Works and the Carnegie Library of Homestead. An informal reception was held on Friday evening before the general session and a collation was served in the ban- quet hall after the session. In recognition of his services and of the affection borne to him by the members of the Association, John Thomson was elected honorary president of the Association for life. The Association placed on record its appreciation of the service that Frances Jenkins Olcott and her staff rendered to the State of Pennsylvania by their careful study of work with children in the Training School for Childrens Librarians and through the printing of suggestive and annotated lists. The students of the Training School attended the meeting in a body. Program Welcome address George A. Macbeth Trustee, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh Inter-library loans --- W. W.

Marx suggested that a com- mittee be appointed to carry out this idea. Maurice A. Filson, of Lafayette College, Dr E. W. Runkle, of State College, Frank G. Lewis, of Crozer Theological Seminary Library, Mary E. Reutter, State Library, Ella Ritchie, Bloomsburg State Nor- mal, and Julia C. Gray, State College, all spoke in favor of the plan. A committee, composed of Maurice A. Filson, E. W. Runkle, and Mary E. Reutter, was appointed and recom- mended : 1. That an Educational Section be organized by the Association. 2. That such section be composed of the libraries of colleges, normal schools, high schools, library training schools, etc. 3. That at least one session of each annual meeting be set aside for discussion of special problems of this class of libraries. 4. That one member of this section, to be appointed by the sec- tion, be a member of the Executive or Program Committee and that Maurice A. Filson be appointed for 1911. A trolley ride to Stroudsburg was announced and parti- cipated in by a number of the librarians. O. R. Howard Thomson offered the following resolution : To amend Section III of the Constitution to read: Any library, historical association or similar organization or any person interested in library work may become a member upon pay- ment of the annual dues. To amend Section VI. a. Annual dues of libraries, historical associations and similar organizations shall be two dollars a year, and of individuals one dollar a year in advance. b. The fiscal year of the Association shall begin November i. Both amendments were adopted. A special meeting of the Executive Committee was held to consider membership dues. The Treasurer was authorized to send a circular letter and short personal appeal to the college, 22 society and public librarians of the state with the purpose of arousing interest in the Association. Subsequent to this meet- ing the following by-laws was proposed to the Association and adopted by it : Members becoming three (3) years in arrears for dues shall be notified by the Treasurer that if they fail to make remittance in 30 days they will be dropped from the roll of membership; and if after such notice they fail to remit the Secretary shall then strike their names from the roll of membership. Mr Bliss called attention to the codification of the school law; and to certain provisions in the law relating to public libraries which he pointed out were in effect as follows : 1. They are to be called school libraries. 2. They are to be under immediate control of the school board; or, if the school board desires, it may appoint a board of trustees, the school board retaining the power to pass on all important matters. 3. Two of the trustees must be women. The fact that these provisions were considered unsatisfac- tory by the majority of librarians was largely responsible for the appointment by the Association of a Legislative Committee to cooperate with the Free Library Commission in codifying the library laws.

That the time devoted to this work be not less than forty hours, the various departments work- ing together to make the time and the work possible. Authority was given the Executive Committee to pay, at its discretion, the expenses incurred by its members in attend- ing special meetings of the Committee; but it was understood that the Executive Committee would not authorize such ex- penditures unless matters of grave importance to the Associa- 25 tion made it necessary that all members of the Committee be present at such special meetings.

Carr was appointed to take up with the publishers of the "Readers' Guide" the addition of certain peri- odicals to those indexed in that magazine. A roll call of librarians was conducted, the representative of each institution responding being requested to give a brief account of the most interesting thing that had occurred in the library he represented during the previous year; thirty-nine librarians answered to the call. The President appointed as a Committee on Legislation : H. S. Ehrhart, Hanover ; Henry F. Marx, Easton, and Wesley K. Woodbury, Pottsville. Program Welcome -- - - - - -- - - - Mrs J. F.

Lowes 1914 Wernersville The Committee on Legislation reported it had made a com- plete investigation of the present library law of the state and that after several meetings had been held with the State Library Commission, the consensus of opinion was that the present law was inadequate. It recommended that House Bill No. 689 as submitted to the Pennsylvania Legislature at the session of 1913 be presented to the next Legislature and its passage urged. The Committee was continued. At a special meeting, the Executive Committee, in recogni- tion of the work achieved by Dr Horace E. Hayden, corre- sponding secretary and librarian of the Wyoming Historical and Geological Society of Wilkes-Barre, elected him an honor- ary member of the Association for life. The Committee on Periodical Indexing reported that it had requested the H. W. Wilson Company to include in its "Readers' Guide" four typical English periodicals, namely: 28 'The Spectator," The Saturday Review," 'The Academy" and "The Athenaeum." It further reported that the Wilson Company had sent out questionnaires to libraries in other states, and as a result of answers received to such questionnaires, had notified the committee that it hoped to include a number of new magazines in the "Readers' Guide Supplement" shortly, and that one of them would be "The Spectator." With a view to making the "Readers' Guide" an index to continental, rather than to English and American opinion only, the Committee suggested that it be continued and instructed by the Association to urge upon the Wilson Company the desira- bility of including, before any others, the "Revue des Deux Mondes" and the "Deutsche Rundschau." The Committee was continued and instructed to concentrate its efforts on the inclu- sion of the periodicals suggested by it. The Executive Committee also recommended that a history of the Keystone State Library Association be printed within the next year, the publication to be carried on under the direc- tion of the Executive Committee of the coming year.

The following representative citizens served on this com- mittee : D. Brandon, President, Library Advisory Board ; J. O. Campbell, President, University Club; Col. W. T. Mechling, President, School Board; Gertrude MacKinney, Secretary, Li- brary Board; Loretta Murrun, Secretary, Congress of Wo- men's Clubs, and Clara B. Mcjunkin, Librarian, Butler Public Library. Special efforts were made to "have everybody know every- body" and this phrase became the shibboleth of the Social Com- mittee, of which Susan L. Sherman was chairman. A game, "The elusive librarian," invented for the occasion, did much to bring about the desired result. Among the interesting places visited by the librarians on Friday afternoon were: State Police Barracks, Thorn Hill School or the Allegheny County Juvenile Court Farm, Country Club, Young Men's Christian Association, the Nixon Farm and the public schools. In the schools the following librarians told stories : Edith Patterson, Helen Langfitt, Elizabeth Wallace, Edna A. White- man, Freda Halpert, Inez Crandle and Mrs Bell Kreutzpoint- ner. This work took at least one phase of the meeting into the homes of Butler and its value may be better appreciated when it is known that as one of the results of this meeting the people of Butler may be inspired to secure a new library building. The Committee on Periodical Indexing reported that both the "Deutsche Rundschau" and the "Revue des Deux Mondes" had refused to contribute copies of their magazines for index 30 purposes to the Wilson Co. The Committee was continued. Since the meeting satisfactory adjustments of all differences have been effected and from the first of January 1916 both the German and French magazines just mentioned, as well as the English "Spectator" will be included in the "Readers' Guide Supplement." The Committee on Library Legislation reported that it had had several meetings with the representatives of the State Library Commission, and also a meeting with the State Com- mittee of Education : that as the way seemed to be clear for the passage of a General Library Law, which should not interfere with the school code, such a bill was prepared and actually passed by the Legislature, only to meet with the veto of the Governor. The Committee recommended that the Association should not cease its agitation for a general library law to take the place of the acts of assembly which the school code under- took to repeal, and suggested the appointment of a new com- mittee to act in conjunction with the State Library Commission with the view of presenting an act to the next Legislature that will meet the objections raised by the Governor's veto. The Committee was reappointed as follows: H. S. Ehrhart, Wesley K. Woodbury, Henry F. Marx. The Executive Committee reported that the History of the Keystone State Library Association was in the hands of the printer and that the material would make a pamphlet of sixty pages. The sessions of the Association were held in the Masonic Temple and High School auditorium. Among the members who were absent and sent regrets were: Henry J. Carr, Frank G. Lewis, Mrs Mabel Champlin Wolcott, H. S. Ehrhart, Thomas L. Montgomery, absent for the first time, and John Thomson who telegraphed from his bed of sickness : "Accept hearty good greetings and best wishes for my friends and good comrades of the Keystone State Li- brary Association." The following committee sent an appro- priate reply in a "night letter" to Dr Thomson : Harrison W. Craver, Robert P. Bliss, and Mary True. 31 Miss Anna M. Shutterly reported that work of the Normal Training Committee had resulted in a more intelligent use of libraries among the students in several of the State Normal Schools: California, Slippery Rock, Millersville, and Edin- boro ; that in some cases definite courses of study had been in- stituted, and that it was the desire of the Committee that libra- rians should do similar work in their respective high schools. Because of the absence of the Secretary, Miss Helen Subers of Ashbourne was appointed secretary pro tern. Program Welcome - --- Mayor Joseph Heinman A survey - __..._ "VV. F.
