WHAT PEOPLE READ.

An examination of the records of either of
opr great circulating libraries reveals some
Singular facts regarding the relative esteem
IN which authors are held by the average
reader. A glance over that kept at the Mer-
camille Library in Brooklyn, for the year
1869, and few figures respecting this years
work, show that at present sixty-eight per
cent. of the demand of Brooklyn readers is
for works of fiction, the ratio being somewhat
less than at the Boston Public Library
In considering this point, it must be re-
membered that novels are usually easily read,
and novel readers have great appetites-
works of fiction circulate rapidly This Ii
brary is also yet without complete cata-
logue, except of fiction. A great many solid
works are referred to without being taken
from the building, while some persons buy
books of permanent value but borrow the
ephemeral. Juveniles appear prominently
among those circulated, and some boys, per-
haps some girls also, read two or three books
In day. Thus minority of the members
might call for all the fiction even at sixty
eight per cent. .1C
Among the juveniles, Oliver Optics books
