Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

To THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY. ,, ,, The result of the joint action and labors of the resperve;! trustees of the estates of Walter L. Newberry and John Crerar was the draft and subsequent enactment of a bill by the legislature of I llinois, entitled An act to encourage and promote the establishment of free public libraries in cities, villages, and towns in this state. Approved June 17, 1891, under which law this corporation is organized. The directors specifically named in the will of Mr. Crerar were first assembled at the residence of Mr. Marshall Field on the twenty-third day of November, 1894, at the request of the Trustees of the Estate of John Crerar. A report was made by the Trustees to the Directors, and action was taken thereupon at the meeting, resulting in the first regular meeting of the Board of Directors held January 2, 1895, at which a complete organization was effected. The work of the first year of the library has been one of organization, and the consideration of different plans involving the character and scope of the library, the creation of by-laws, and the election of officers and committees. It has been determined as the permanent financial policy of the library that its annual expenditures shall not exceed the annual income and the accumulation thereof, and that such policy can be changed only by a vote of two thirds of the members of the Board of Directors.
