EDUCATION: SUBSIDIES TO PUBLIC LIBRARIES (PAPERS RELATING TO DISTRIBUTION OF). [In continuation of E.-10, 1914.]
Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly by Command of His Excellency.
I. Extract from the Thirty-eighth Annual Report op the Minister op Education. As in previous years the sum of £4,000 was voted by Parliament in 1914 for distribution to public libraries. The libraries participating are such as belong to the public in the sense of not being under the control of an association, society, or club whose membership is composed of a section of the community only, and if within a borough the reading-room must be open to the public free of charge. The only other important stipulation made is that the receipts from subscriptions and donations during the year to the funds of the library seeking to participate in the vote must not be less than £2. This is regarded as a very low minimum to ensure that a certain amount of local interest is taken in the library. In the New Zealand Gazette of the 12th November, 1914, a notice was inserted *■ stating that £4,000 had been voted by Parliament for distribution to libraries. Forms of application were then sent to all the libraries known to the Department. There was presented to the Department by each library applying for participation in the vote a statement of the method of management, the books belonging to the library, and the accounts for the preceding year. The amount received by each library during the year in the way of subscriptions, donations, and rates is taken as the basis of calculation in distributing the vote. To this amount is made a nominal addition of £25, but no library receives credit for a larger income than £75 —that is, in no case does the amount on which subsidy is based exceed £100. In this manner the interests of small libraries in country districts are protected. The number of libraries among which the subsidy was divided in March, 1915, was 380, the vote'yielding a subsidy of 4s. 10-96d. in the pound on the nominal income, and the subsidies paid ranging from £6 12s. 7d. to £24 lis. 4d. The number of libraries participating in the vote shows a decrease of twenty-one as compared with the number aided in the previous year. This is largely accounted for by the fact that many applications had to be refused owing to the income from subscriptions, &c, having been less than £2. Many applications were also received too late to be considered. In order that the purpose intended to be served by the vote may be attained, it is made a condition that the whole of the subsidy granted to each library must be expended in the purchase of books.fflt isf further enjoined upon the authorities in charge of the libraries that a due proportion of the books purchased shall be books having a permanent value. There is still room for very great improvement in this

respect, although an analysis of the books purchased this year shows that 75 # 9 per cent, were works of fiction as compared with 83*0 per cent, in the previous year. If the additions made by the large libraries were not taken into consideration the proportion of novels purchased would increase to 86*8 per cent. In the case of 110 libraries practically all of the books added during the year were works of fiction. It is realized that many books coming under this heading form useful, readingmatter, but it is feared that a large proportion of the books purchased have little or no educational or instructive value. This cannot be considered as a satisfactory state of affairs, as it is clearly not the intention of the Government that the subsidy should be expended in the purchase of such literature, and the authorities whose duty it is to expend the money to the fullest advantage would do well to bear this fact in mind if they wish to retain the sympathy of the Government in connection with future grants. The following table shows the distribution according to the education districts :—
Summary of Distribution of Public Libraries Subsidy.
11. Extract from New Zealand Gazette, 12th November, 1914. Education Department, Wellington, November, 1914. .Notice is hereby given that the sum of £4,000 has been voted by Parliament for distribution to public libraries. The distribution will take place about the Ist March, 1915, and no claim will be entitled to consideration that shall not have been sent in in due form and received by the Secretary for Education, Wellington, on or before the 26th January, 1915. 1. A library to be entitled to a subsidy must be public in the sense of belonging to the public, and of not being under the control of an association, society, or club whose membership is composed of a section of the community only, and if within a borough it must be open to the public free of charge. The receipts for the year from subscriptions and donations must not have been less than £2, exclusive of moneys received from endowments, or from Government, or from Borough or County Councils, or for special building purposes, or as rent, hire, or consideration for the use of any room, or building, or land belonging to the institution, in respect of none of which will subsidy be allowed. The net proceeds of concerts, lectures, or other entertainments on behalf of the current expenses of the library will be regarded as voluntary contributions. A subsidy will not be given to more than one library in the same town. 2. In the division of the vote a nominal addition of £25 will be made to the amount of the income of each library derived from subscriptions, donations, and rates, and the vote will be divided according to the amounts thus augmented ; but no library will receive credit for a larger income than £75 —that is, in no case will the augmented amount on which distribution is based exceed £100. 3. The whole of the subsidy must be expended without delay in the purchase of books for the library. 4. It is particularly enjoined upon the authorities in charge of the public libraries concerned that a due proportion of the books purchased, shall be books having a permanent, value — that is, on books of more than merely passing interest. 5. Application to share in the distribution must be by means of a statutory declaration by the Chairman, or Secretary, or Treasurer of the institution on behalf of which it is made, and must be accompanied by a statement of the receipts and expenditure of the institution for the year ending on the 31st day of December, 1914; and such declaration must be on the form, provided for the purpose, which form shall bo as follows :—
