The Flint Public Library has been open every Tuesday evening and Saturday afternoons and evenings during the year 1941, (holidays excepted. )


Five deposits of books were sent to the Howe-Manning school for elementary reading. These books were chosen from the State Read- ing List. Each student reading five or more books is awarded a cer- tificate by the State Department of Education, through the local library. A special certificate is awarded for the reading of twenty books, five of which must be non-fiction.


The following magazines have been in the reading room: American, American Girl, American Home, Aviation, Better Homes and Gardens, Child Life, Country Gentlemen, Dumb Animals, Good Housekeeping, Jack and Jill, Life, National Geographic, Nature Magazine, The Path- finder, Popular Mechanics, Specialty Salesman and Time.


Many new books were added to the library during the year, which were enjoyed by the readers.
