To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From six to eight thousand dollars is spent annually for books, and every serious request for books not owned receives prompt considera- tion, and the books are usually bought or else borrowed from other libraries. Thus the whole book resources of the country are practi- cally at the command of any student in Springfield. The library is free to all residents, even temporary residents, and to non-residents employed in the city. Other persons may use books in the building, and by pa)ang the purel...y nominal fee of a dollar per year may borrow them for home use. As a result of the liberal policy pursued, a large portion of the population are registered as card-holders, and the annual circulation amounts to nearly 350,cxx) volumes, a use per capita that is seldom equalled in cities of the same or greater size. Another result is that not a few university professors and literary workers spend their summers in or near Springfield, attracted partly by the valuable collection of books, but chiefly by the freedom with which they may be used.
