Danish-Norwegian Literature
Scandia, Oct. 27, 1928
Danish-Norwegian literature ranks third in the number of books in the Chicago Public Library; German literature ranks first. Last year 464,426 Polish books were loaned at the Library; German, 379,900; Bohemian, 31,312; Jewish, 20,344; Danish-Norwegian, 14,378; Swedish, 2,643.
Of the foreign language groups, as we stated before, the Danish-Norwegian section is the third largest. The Danish-Norwegian loan of books was seven times as large as the Swedish.
Where do most of the Chicago Norwegians live? Let us judge by the number of Norwegian volumes in branch libraries: Humboldt Park, 5,761; North and Crawford Avenues, 4,148; Logan Square, 2,763. The largest number of Swedish volumes in a branch library is 390.
