Excerpt from Report of the Trustees of the State Library to the Governor, for the Period Beginning June 1, 1898, and Ending May 31, 1900, Vol. 8: Together With the Report of the State Librarian to the Trustees for the Same Period; Part III We proceeded on the dictum that a. Well-catalogued, albeit small, library is much more useful than a large uncatalogued one. The opening of our doors to all citizens, whether in the capital city or without, has not been attended heretofore with the results legitimately to be expected, for the simple reason that the contents of the library are unknown to those debarred from a personal inspection. Manifestly, we can make its con tents known outside of Concord only by a printed index or catalogue. A necessary preliminary step was the completion of the card catalogue. From this will be made the printed volume which will go into every local free public library in the state, in effect to make our great collection of books an adjunct to its circulating department. The saving of expense to the local library (especially if the postal laws be so revised as to give to literature the advantage now enjoyed by printed trash) will be enormous in the end. It will save the smaller town the many dollars necessary to be expended for some standard technical book required by a few, although useless to the many: for the local library, finding such a work in the great central institution of our library system, may borrow it of the state library, thus saving its purchase price to be ex pended in directions more generally popular and useful.
