CLEARWATER PUBLIC LIBRARY
CLEARWATER, FLORIDA
Mrs. T. O. OYlen,
Clearwater Public Library
Like most libraries, ours has had a very busy yeart the most remarkable
'I
fact being that our peak months were from June to September, during which we
lent out more than 35,000 books I (normal population: - 7,000: regular stnff:
- librarian and two assistants.)
So much for the quiet summer monthsl
Our outstanding feature was the card party put on by the combined women's
organizations of the townt when we appealed for funds for children's books in
November. The results were: - almost $100.00 in cash, and grest interest
aroused in the children's department. This interest continues, as a small
box on the desK, labelled "For Children's Books," has since netted us quite
a nice sumt and we are often asked how the Children's Book Fund is growing:
For Book Weekt the children made things to represent the books, such as
boats, character dollst carvings in soap, indian villages, etc.,'we held a
large number of entries, some of them showing exceptional talent.
At the end of our fiscal year, April 30, we expect our circulation will
reach over 104,000, a gain of about 10,000 over last year.
