At the end of November we baV passed It and ftthe total gain for: the year in circulation, 92,582, is not only unprecedented, but is double the gain of a ago, which we considered excellent. . The reading rooms have been crowded afternoons and evenings. The two committee rooms have not been ake-met the demands on them .! for meeting room and the children's room is often pressed into service after closing hours. The membership record for the year also indicates to romp extent the growth of the library influence. Over 9 49 library cards were iasueo against S 2u0 last year, and the new cards have exceeded the expirations by over 3 auO. A part of this activity is due. no doubt, to unemployment and lack of money for othr amusements than . reading So far as fhis is the case we hope, of course for leas library activity next year, but look upon present condition as an opportunity to get in touch with many people we have not heretofore reached. It im specially unfortunate that at this time with an wirnwiai number of men w:th time and disposition for study, our appropriation should have ben cut. making the purchase of new technical and reference hooks impossible.
