CONCERT IN THE EVENING Although ,h»' weather man dealt unkindly with the official* of the Ev- i naion Free Public llhrury in sending threatening weather Saturday after- noon, a good-ui/ed crowd, estimated jit anywhere from 800 to 1.500 persons, passed througt) the public building Saturday afternoon and evening In observance of the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the free Institution In Evanston. From 2 o'clock in the afternoon untLl 10 o'clock at night visitors In the library were shown every courtesy and escorted through tbe many rooms and departments where the workings of the equipment and a brief description of the con- tents were given. Two exhibits, arranged especially for the "open house fortieth anniver oar}' celebration," were of much In terest to the visitors. These consist- ed of the first record of the clrcula tion of books In the free library and a complete set of tbe files of the New- York Dally Graphic, published in 1873, tbe year tbe institution was opened' here. Both of these documents were on tbe loan desk In tbe main part of tbe building and attracted much attention. First Were In Ledger Form. The first record of circulation of the books was in ledger form, very different from the convenient card index system in use now. Each fam- ily which took advantage of tbe free public library was given an entire page in the ledger and the entries •bowed tbe number of volumes se cured. No attempt was made to exhibit the -.collection of books, but every visitor was shown through the building and the many different sections of book shelves explained. The "open bouse" was arranged merely for the celebra- tion of the anniversary and with a ▼lew to acquaint all residents of Ev- anston with all the parts of the build- ing. Many who attended the function Itad never seen all of the sections. | A great deal of interest was mani- fested by the visitors who were not conversant with tbe workings at tbe library. In tbe section devoted to the; Branston Historical society's collec- tion of historical relics and other ob Jects of peculiar Interest Qaw Concert. The collection of records in tbe music room with the pianola Installed also caused much surprise from the visitors. A concert was given dur- ing tbe afternoon and evening which was greatly enjoyed. Tbe motion picture exhibit of edu- cational story Alms by Prof. P. W. Nichols In Library hall was interest- ing, and scores availed themselves of the opportunity to witness the high-, class pictures in tbe afternoon and evening. j Among the many visitors at the gathering was William T. Shepherd, 3724 Chicago avenue, chairman of tb»! first meeting called for the establish log of a free public library. Mr. Shep- herd entertained a group of persons with stories telling of the early his- tory of the library and bow tbe free j plan was decided upon in the meet-' lag held In his home. In 1870.
