Our total circulation for the year was 1544; 1295 fiction and 249 non-fiction.
This is somewhat less than last year which is due to the fact that the removal of two grades from District No. I to the Central School Building lessened our constituency.
We are as usual indebted to the State Library Commission, to the Women's Educational Union and the James Library for the generous loan of books, and to several individuals for gifts of books.
55
TOWN OF NORWELL
We have added about seventy-five volumes during the year, forty-five by gift and thirty by purchase. Our shelf room is taxed to capacity with our seven hundred and twenty five volumes and in order to make room for new books we are obliged to remove some of the old ones.
