At the close of the year we find the work to have been very satisfactory, the circulation of books and magazines being larger than that of last year. The North Elm Street branch, conducted by Mrs. Snell, still continues. Many new books have been added, among them a full set of Mark Twain's writings. Two books have been received as a gift from a friend. Many pamphlets have been circulated as has the Red Cross Bulletin that has been sent for free distribu- tion. Much interest is shown by those receiving them.
Books taken for school use are as follows: For High school, 30; Center schools, 49 and five magazines. The usual num- ber of magazines will be found in the reading-room, to which all are welcome.
