Book excerpt: Excerpt from Libraries of Greater New York: Manual and Historical Sketch of the New York Library Club The List of libraries was in type in October, 1901, when the receipt of advance sheets from the Report of the United States Commissioner of Education for 1899-1900, giving statistics of "Public, society and school libraries," and of the "Annual report, 1900," on Public libraries, issued by the University of the State of New York, brought to light a number of libraries in New York City of which the Committee had no previous knowledge, although every available source of information had been examined. Some two hundred additional circulars of inquiry were sent out, and as a result more than one hundred libraries were added. In several instances repeated calls for information were not responded to; these libraries are indicated in the List by an asterisk (*) preceding the name. The Committee is indebted to its chairman for compiling the List of libraries, to Mr. Nelson for the "Historical sketch" and the other historical matter in the "Manual," and to Mr. Bostwick for the List of "Members" of the Club. Thanks are due and are cordially tendered to all who have aided the Committee in the compilation of this record of library progress in New York City.
