The year showed the following increases: - 2, 930 in book circulation, 91 in periodicals and 94 in records. There were 478 new borrowers. Books were sent to four schools, and the five summer branches for children's books showed a circulation of 375 books. Interest in vacation reading was stimu- lated by the awarding of State Reading Certificates to twenty children for the reading of five or more books.
We have added to the Library a collection of supplementary readers which are of great help to beginners and "reluctant readers", and they are in constant use. The Popular Science Encyclopedia is also a welcome addition. Reference work is carried on in increasing volume. Brownie and Cub Scout Leaders find much helpful material for their projects, and teachers from nearby schools borrow many books for their classrooms.
