Subsidies to Public Libraries.

Education Department,
Wellington, 18th November, 1913.

NOTICE is hereby given that the sum of £4,000 has
been voted by Parliament for distribution to public
libraries.

The distribution will take place on the 9th February,
1914, and no claim will be entitled to consideration that
shall not have been sent in due form and received by the
Secretary for Education, Wellington, on or before the 26th
January, 1914.

1. A library to be entitled to a subsidy must be public in
   the sense of belonging to the public, and of not being under
   the control of an association, society, or club whose mem-
   bership is composed of a section of the community only,
   and if within a borough it must be open to the public free
   of charge. The receipts for the year from subscriptions
   and donations must not have been less than £2, exclusive
   of moneys received from endowments, or from Govern-
   ment, or from Borough or County Councils, or for special
   building purposes, or as rent, hire, or consideration for
   the use of any room, or building, or land belonging to the
   institution, in respect of none of which will subsidy be
   allowed. The net proceeds of concerts, lectures, or other
   entertainments on behalf of the current expenses of the
   library will be regarded as voluntary contributions. A
   subsidy will not be given to more than one library in the
   same town.

2. In the division of the vote a nominal addition of £25
   will be made to the amount of the income of each library
   derived from subscriptions, donations, and rates, and the
   vote will be divided according to the amounts thus
   augmented; but no library will receive credit for a larger
   income than £75—that is, in no case will the augmented
   amount on which distribution is based exceed £100.

3. The whole of the subsidy must be expended without
   delay in the purchase of books for the library.

4. It is particularly enjoined upon the authorities in charge
   of the public libraries concerned that a due proportion of the
   books purchased shall be books having a permanent value;
   that is on books of more than merely passing interest.

5. Application to share in the distribution must be by
   means of a statutory declaration by the Chairman, or
   Secretary, or Treasurer of the institution on behalf of
   which it is made, and must be accompanied by a statement
   of the receipts and expenditure of the institution for the
   year ending on the 31st day of December, 1913; and such
   declaration must be on the form provided for the purpose,
   which form shall be as follows:—

DECLARATION.

I, [Name], of [Place of abode], [Occupation], do solemnly
and sincerely declare that I am Chairman [or Secretary,
or Treasurer] of the [Name of institution]; that during
the year ending on the 31st day of December, 1913, the
receipts of the aforesaid institution for the maintenance
of the library only were as follows: From rates levied by
a local governing body, under Part I of the Libraries and
Mechanics’ Institutes Act, 1908, or the Municipal Cor-
porations Act, 1908, pounds shillings and
pence; from the subscriptions of members,
pounds shillings and pence; and
from voluntary contributions other than members’ sub-
scriptions, pounds shillings and
pence; that the library is public in the sense of belong-
ing to the public, and is not under the control of an
association, society, or club whose membership is com-
posed of a section of the community only; that the in-
formation hereinafter furnished by me in the appendix
hereto is correct in every particular; that the abstract
of accounts is a true statement of the receipts and ex-
penditure of the institution for the year herein specified;
that the whole of the subsidy received during the year
was expended in the purchase of books for the library;
[and that by the rules of the library it is open to the public free
of charge].

And I make this solemn declaration conscientiously be-
lieving the same to be true, and by virtue of the Justices
of the Peace Act, 1908.

[Signature.]

Declared at , this day of , 191 ,
before me— , Justice of the Peace [or Solicitor,
or Notary Public].

[Here affix and cancel a stamp at 2s. 6d.]

[NOTE.—The words relating to last year’s subsidy and to
free admission may be struck out if they are not appli-
cable. The words in brackets are not part of the form, but
indicate matter to be inserted or substituted.]

6. Copies of the form of application may be obtained from
   the Secretary for Education, Wellington, and from the
   Secretary of any Education Board.
