THIRTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
The annual reports of the Librarian and Treasurer, given on other pages, supply the usual statistics as to the acces- sions and use of books, and the expenses of the Library for the past year.
Miss Twichell, the Superintendent of the Cornell Art Col- lection, reports in addition that the total number of visitors was 3254-adults, 895, children, 2359 - and the average daily attendance, 35. She remarks that the daily average is the same as in the previous year, although the Art Room was closed for nearly two weeks on account of the prevalence of small pox and for a longer period during the coal famine. This shows that the interest taken in this important feature of the Library is not one of transient novelty, but of lasting attractiveness and usefulness, especially to the children and youth of the town.
The causes already mentioned - the prevalence of the small pox in summer, and the great difficulty of heating the Library in winter - have affected to a considerable degree the circulation of books through the general delivery, the district delivery, and the public schools.
Attention may properly be called to the gift to the Refer- ence Library of the costly and finely illustrated "Lawson History of the America's Cup," as also the presentation by a citizen of five standard volumes, including Prof. G. F. Wright's " Asiatic Russia." This last item may suggest to
133
other citizens the beneficent use which might be made of similar works of current literature when they have finished the reading of them.
