Library Struggles for American Book Collection Growth
Librarian Putnam says the US library system needs funding to acquire needed volumes as printing produced about thirteen million titles yet many rare works remain unaffordable.

The piece also covers farmers opposing Western express companies over meat shipments, Roosevelt’s dentist visit, and a unique parade plan for the youngest Union army veteran marching to Port Meyers heights.
