PUBLIC LIBRARY ACCOUNT
Librarian's Report
During the year 1928, practically the same routine has been carried on as during previous years. On July 4th, when Middleton observed the two hundredth anniversary of its founding, the library was glad to open its doors to the public, from ten in the morning until the afternoon exercises were over. The library became a sort of social center.
The library has been open each Tuesday evening, also Sat- urday afternoon and evening, except Tuesday evening, Decem- ber 25. Christmas was the only holiday falling on a library day this year.
The circulation of books has been 8,683, which was 1,441 more than during 1927. The number of non-fiction borrowed was 1,034, which was but a small percent of the entire circu- lation, yet it was a slight gain over the non-fiction circulation of last year.
The reading room has supplied its visitors with the fol- lowing magazines (* shows gifts) American Magazine, Ameri- can Boy, Atlantic, Century, Country Life, Harper's Monthly, Munsey, National Sportsman, Review of Reviews, St. Nichol- as, Scribner's, Woman's Home Companion, Popular Science, World's Work, Youth's Companion, *National Republic, *Our Dumb Animals, *American Legion, Outlook, Life, *Christian Register, *Christian Science Sentinel, *Essex Farmer and Home Maker, and *Dearborn Independent.
