Average issue of books each Library day, 167
Number of cards in use, 2,023
The increased appropriation made by the town for the sup- port of the Library has enabled us this year to add a much larger number of new books than heretofore. We are rapidly outgrowing our present quarters and larger accommodations will so011 be required. As an experiment a few magazines have been subscribed for and will be circulated the coming year; if there proves to be a demand for them, more will be taken another year. During the past year, and for the first time, we can re- port that not a single book has been lost. We beg to acknowl- edge the receipt of books from the various departments at Wash- ington, from Maj. E. S. Horton, from H. L. Gordon, Chicago, and from Mr. James R. Mathewson.
A large part of the success of the Library is due to the courtesy and thoughtfulness of our librarian.
