Eagleson, of Seattle, spoke of the desirability of interesting dentists in the medical library, and inquired as to what attempts, if any, had been made in this direction. Mr. Huntington stated that in Brooklyn the dentists took a very active interest in the medical library. The local dental’society met in the medical library building, and the dental section of the library was called “The Library of the Second District Dental Society, being the Dental Section of the Library of the Medical Society of the County of Kings,” this latter in recognition of the active interest taken by the dental society in building up this section of the library. The books were owned by the medical library, but the dental society gave very liberally each year for the purchase and binding of dental books and journals. Members of the dental society were granted the privilege of borrowing books from the library, both medical and dental, the dental society guar- anteeing the library against any loss.
