Synopsis

Maximize access and modern cataloging at the Indiana State Library in the early 1900s. This volume summarizes a period of growth, stricter organization, and broader public service, from new accessions to expanded shelving and the addition of embossed books for the blind.

The report highlights how cataloging, reference, and lending were combined to serve state readers, schools, and clubs. It details large increases in catalog records, the shift to a unified dictionary card catalogue, and the expansion of printed catalogues to reach borrowers across the state.


  • Large accessions and expansive cataloging work, with thousands of new cards and detailed subject access.

  • A blended reference and loan department focused on serving non-resident users and local clubs.

  • Special programs, including embossed books for the blind and a mail-free lending plan for eligible readers.

  • Plans for space upgrades, shelving, and improved storage to support growing collections.



Ideal for readers interested in the history of public libraries, state archives, and how early 20th‑century libraries expanded access and services.
