Before closing this report wish to
bring the fact before your body today
that som provision must be made in the
near future for larger and more COM
modious room for the library. BY much
planning and remodeling of cases re-
Gently, so as to utilize all Of the wall
space, a few more feet of shelfxoom have
been provided. This additional space,
cramped at best, will be filled pro badly
before the close of another year, hence
the need of some immediate action in
the matter, that the growth and useful
ness of the library be not hindfrcd.
During the ten years the library has
occupied its present quarters, the num-
Der of its volume has increased from $40
to 2573-having doubled in the last four
years. Its patronage has increased from
4453 to 1920 and the number of its
patrons more than doubled during this
time. E. c. Rich,
