BY the foregoing table il will be seen that
there is such degree Of interest manifested
in the library, that, with a portion of the
community, it has become a necessity; and
that books in comparatively large quantities
are drawn. BY proportioning the number
OF books taken out monthly, it appears that
about one book is drawn by each member
every two weeks, showing that there ia an
appreciation of its benefits and advantage
derived from them. 1t indicates that few If
any Of the members tickets remain unused
Some six months ago. through the hber
atty Of citizens interested in the success of

about the 9th of July last The interest in
the library since that period has largely in,
creased, as is shown by the afore mentioned
table. The circulation has nearly doubled.
