New York Public Libraries.

The facts which The Book Buyer pre-
scents relating to the circulation of books
in New York city through free circulat-
ing Libraries cannot be questioned. Scant
as is the aggregate number of books tax
en-, when compared with the popuia-
tion, it is nevertheless satisfactory to
learn that there are some few free libra
ries which can show that, as TO readers,
they have more. The following is from
Tho Book Buyers article:
How woefully New York is behind
other cities of the country in bringing
books within reach of the masses is seen
from a comparison of the free circulat-
ing library systems. Last year, for eK-
ample, there was a circulation in New
York of something over /, 900, 900 vol
umes by libraries that received a total
appropriation from the city of $50. o00.
In the same year the Boston Public
library circulated $50, 900 volumes and

If a comic paper man is hard up for
