The Library appreciates the collection of stuffed birds and minerals col- lected by Miss Emily F. Fletcher and given by her on her death to the Library. These will prove a valuable addition to the Library exhibits. Miss Fletcher was a frequent visitor to the Library and always loyal to its best interests.
Mr. Charles O. Prescott presented to the Library a copy of a painting "A Patrician of Nurmburg" by Albert Durer, the original of which hangs in the Berlin Museum. He has also given a large collection of mounted photographs, principally of India and Japan, which will be a serviceable addition to the picture collection.
The Library is again a member of the Library Art Club. This makes it possible to have on exhibition in Library Hall many sets of interesting pictures, which are exchanged about once a month. The list of those already shown is given later in the report.
During the year an exhibition that attracted much attention was a collection of old-fashioned dolls, cradle and bedstead loaned by Mrs. E. C. Allen, Miss Elizabeth Wells, Mrs. R. L. Keizer, Miss Alice M. Howard and Miss May E. Day.
Children's Book Week was observed at the Library by an attractive exhibition of children's books, some of which were for sale. Leaflets sug- gesting books for reading or purchase were distributed. The privilege of purchasing books for Christmas gifts was much appreciated.
The work on the dictionary catalog in charge of Miss Bunce has progressed so that it has been of use during the past year.
The magazine circulation is greater than last year's, though not reach- ing that of the year previous. A few changes have been made in the list of magazines. All except current numbers may be borrowed and the list for the coming year is as follows :
