Book Description
Excerpt from Catalogue of the Chicago Municipal Library, 1908 This Catalogue of the books, pamphlets, periodicals, etc., which consti tute the Municipal Library, as maintained in connection with the Bureau of Statistics, is the first ever compiled. Heretofore, as there was no Catalogue, the large mass of valuable material which has grown out of, or directly concerns, the Executive and Legislative branches of city governments, has practically scarcely existed for the Heads of Departments and the Aldermen of the corporation of Chicago. Few only of those officials have made it convenient often to visit this Library, and consequently its many possible benefits have been much too little availed of. A copy of this Catalogue is sent to His Honor the Mayor; to the Secre tary to the Mayor; to all the Heads of Departments and to their chief clerks and deputies; to every Alderman, and additional copies to the Chairmen of Committees of the City Council; and to all members, together with the chief clerks, of the permanent Commissions and Boards.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Libraries of the City of Chicago: With an Historical Sketch of the Chicago Library Club This little volume is in nowise an attempt to give a complete statement regarding libraries or library efforts in Chicago. It is the result of the desire, long standing, of the members of the Chicago Library Club to gather in one place such data concerning the club, its history, its scope, and object as shall present a fairly adequate reason for its existence. There are many more libraries in Chicago than are enrolled here, but it has seemed inexpedient to wait longer for responses to the several requests sent to them for data. Moreover, as the Illinois Library Association is about to publish a fairly complete statement concerning the libraries of the state, including Chicago, the omission of some names from this will not be so serious. The five libraries of which extended notice is herein given have helped to make possible the publication of this hand-book, and to them acknowledgment is here given.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Chicago City Manual: Containing a List of the Executive and Other City Officers, With Descriptions of Their Duties; Lists of the Aldermen and of the Committees of the City Council and the Rules Regulating That Body Much of the work currently executed by the Bureau of Statistics is somewhat like that performed by the legislative reference departments of the two states named above. But owing to the great lack in the present working facilities of this bureau, but principally to the absence of a suitable organization, at once comprehensive and harmonious, and efficiently directed by a competent head, the field of past and present labors is deplorably limited. A new Department of Information and Publicity, which it is proposed to add to the departments of administra tion (the ordinance for creating which is now pending in the City Coun cil), is designed to provide for the city an organization such as is greatly needed; one that shall be the best of the most approved kind. The cost of it can be but trifling in comparison with the enormous amounts of money to be involved in proposed public works and improvements, which from time to time will be subjects of special researches with which the Commissioner of Information and Publicity will be charged.
