Book excerpt: Excerpt from Descriptive List of the Libraries of California, Containing the Names of All Persons Who Are Engaged in Library Work in the State The matter contained in the following pages has been compiled from the latest reports accessible. Applications for information were sent to everv library in the State, so far as known, but in manv cases no reply was received, even in response to a second request, so it became necessary to use the latest information that could be obtained from other sources. In the limited time available for preparing this handbook it has been impossible to enlarge as much as could be desired on the individual libraries, or to make a list of the various school and law libraries in the State. Under the division Free Public Libraries are included only those which are supported by taxation; all society, college, subscription, and private libraries being grouped by themselves. Illustrations and a brief account of the State Printing Office have been included because all the binding and printing for the Library are done there. It is one of the very few offices owned and operated bv a state, and is very completely equipped. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
