Soule will be of great interest. Soule writes to explain all the basics on building and stocking a library. His advice is appropriate for everyone, whether you are planning to convert one room to a library in your home, or you are building a community library for many people to enjoy. "Library Rooms and Buildings" begins with the basics: how to estimate the number of bookshelves you will need and how high and deep they should be. For libraries that will grow beyond one room, Soule advises dividing the spaces in the most economical way possible, since typically libraries only employ one person per room. He suggests keeping books away from direct sunlight and out of the elements. Soule has advice for towns planning new libraries. He estimates that a small wooden building could be built at the time for around $2,500. Times may have changed, but Soule's larger point was that every community should plan for a library, no matter how small. It is clear that Soule believed that a library was essential to foster a sense of camaraderie and a spirit of learning among neighbors. Soule explains how town libraries can be funded and what the basic requirements are for stocking shelves and staffing. Although it would have been interesting to read Soule's recommendations on selecting books, book selection is beyond the scope of this 24-page booklet. It is still a valuable resource on the mechanics of building a proper library. "Library Rooms and Buildings" deserves a place on the shelves of every bibliophile.

This book was released on 2016-06-20 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of One, Two, Three and Four Room School Buildings In considering the oor space of a building, the matter of cloak rooms, vestibules, library and fuel room ought to receive careful attention. These are essential elements in the planning of any school building of whatever size or material. Separate cloak rooms for boys and girls should be arranged. They should be provided with hooks for the hats, cloaks and coats, and shelves for the dinner baskets. The doors of the cloak rooms should open into the main room. To have them open only into the vestibule adds considerably to the problem of discipline. It is especially important to keep the cloak rooms in a sanitary condition. To that end ample light and ventilation should be provided. A small room for library and storage purposes has come to be one of the most useful agencies of the rural school. \vith very little additional expense such a room may be provided with books, book cases, reference works, a table and a few chairs. This will give a place for the older pupils to study when they have special work to prepare. The library room is an in dispensible part of the modern country school house. A fuel room or fuel basement should also be included in the plans. It will cost less than a separate coal house and will add greatly to the convenience of the school plant.

The light was supplied by four arc lamps, each Of candle-power. These were used until 1893, when a great improvement was effected by the introduction Of glow-lamps fixed to the readers' tables, the arc lamps being reduced to about 300 candle-power each. Two years later the shelves accessible to readers on the ground floor were lighted with glow-lamps, aided by reflectors, which effectually light the books on the shelves Without causing any glare. In the early part of 1906 forty-six additional glow lamps were fitted to the tables between the rays. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Country Library Versus the Donor and the Architect Undoubtedly the old-fashioned Windsor chair in such universal use is an excellent selection for public libraries, but the lack of variety gives an institutional effect which does not suggest ease and comfort. The room does not say, Come, sit down and read in me. The tables, as is quite the fashion now, should be small, with a changing supply of periodicals and books laid upon them in an alluring way. The walls should be lined with low bookcases, and, if most of these must be filled with reference books, save a few conspicuous shelves for general reading, old and new. Temptation should be our motto, and it is entirely moral to tempt people in that way. One strong objection to the lofty ceiling is the difficulty and cost of heating, greatly increasing the expense of running the library. In cold weather very likely the floor never is warm, while the upper part is probably 80 or Questioning a librarian on this point she shivered, although it was then mid summer, saying, Oh, my, how cold it is!
