Warshasky, Stanford Catalogs Library Circulation Library Services Outreach Programs Public Libraries The Silas Bronson Library in Waterbury, Connecticut received a state grant in 1976 to provide increased accessibility to their services through a books-by-mail program. In 1975, 9,750 catalogs listing the books-by-mail collection were mailed to local households. Newspaper publicity requested that households that received the catalogs share them with neighbors. The catalogs contained postage-paid request cards. Books from a special paperback collection were mailed to patrons in postage-paid, returnable book bags. Adult materials proved the most popular. The bulk of the books went to homebound persons. The personnel and supplies budget for the first year's program was $31,859.95. The major recurring expense was printing the catalogs. (KB) |
