Report of the Young Men's Library Association
To the Members of the Young Men's Library Association :
I submit herewith my annual report as Librarian for the year of 1933.
The circulation for the year was as follows :-
Main Library
40,417
Thorndike Branch
5,101
Bondsville Branch
12,310
Three Rivers Branch
13,152
Total
70,980
While this shows a decrease in circulation of nearly 11,000 it is considered an encouraging factor, as more people are working than last year and they have less time to read.
Another factor is the smaller appropriation available for the purchase of books.
