PUBLIC LIBRARY REPORT
LIBRARIAN'S REPORT, 1941
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.
The librarian wishes to express her appreciation to the trustees for their cooperation in the past year.
