a thousand libraries
daily distribute books up and down
the dusty back roads of mid-20th
Century America.
Once, there was but one.
The year was 1905. An Allegheny
farmer watched a high black wa-
gon turn into his barn yard. He
called:
"Yer needn't stop here. We ain’t
got no use fer the dead wagon
here.”
But the wagon stopped. And af-
terwards it came again and again.
The wagon with the deathlike ex-
terior was the granddaddy of the
bookmobile.
Fifty-two years later, about one
in seven of the nation’s 6,925 pub-
lic libraries operates a bookmobile.
Some, like Baltimore's huge Enoch
Pratt Free Library, keep two on
the road.
Each mobile library is a monu-
ment to Mary L- Titcomb, who
brought to the library field the
pioneering spirit of her New Eng-
land ancestors.
Miss Titcomb, after duty in the
public libraries of Concord, Mass.,
and Rutland, Vt., became librarian
of the new Washington County
Free Library in mountainous
tern Maryland in 1901.
She wqs determined that
throughout the county should
library services. 1
1904, she had established 66
tions where people could pick up (
and leave books. The library jan-|
itor carried books to and from the j
pickup stations in a wagon.
"We worked in this way for a-
bout a year,” Miss Titcomb wrote
later, “and then the obvious dawn-
ed upon us. ‘Why not have a wa-
gon built expressly for the pur-
pose, and send out not only the
cases (of books) but have our man

A report to the'commission by]

an audit of the financial records
I of the city.
Crawford noted that all accounts
appeared to be in good condition,
and said excellent cooperation
had been received from city em-)
ployes while the audit was being ]
made.
CONSIDERING purchase of a
new police car, the commissioners '
decided to "try” a lease - proposal!
from Charlie Seeds Motor Co.
Seeds, at the request of Dudley ]
Bayne, had prepared a proposal to'
tease two cars for use by the po-
lice department.
A motion to accept Seeds’ pro-
posal for one car won unanimous
approval. If the car dealer ap-
rpoves the amended proposal,
the city will pay $150 a month
for lease of a new Ford equipped !
with suitable “heavy duty” e- I
quipment. The commissioners
studied cost charts on police cars
owned by the city in the past
and decided that the $150 a
month charge would be' reason-
able.

The fifth bookmobile was in op-

serving as librarian, died in 1932
at the age of 83.
Last March, the Washington
County Free Library put its
seventh bookmobile to work. Its
load of books probably is as val-
uable as the entire library’s stock
in 1905.
And its 180-horsepower engine is
exactly 90 times as powerful as its
antecedent, the book wagon.
