Iowa Libraries Reap Large Donations in Biennial Report
Iowa public libraries attracted nearly half a million dollars from philanthropy over the last two years. Andrew Carnegie supplied about 210,000 and the largest gift over 250,000 came from the Youngs of West Des Moines. Carnegie’s Iowa gifts total about 1,48,200 as compared with other states. The biennial report by Miss Alice S Tyler, secretary of the library commission, recommends legislative changes including duties of trustees, township and county assistance in return for library use, and raising the main tax levy for libraries from 2 to 3 mills. The library travel program doubled to 316 centers, with 13,871 volumes, 18,827 readers, and 58,118 circulations, while new free libraries opened in several cities. Library associations formed in multiple towns. The commission seeks higher state appropriations as work grows.
