But one additional station has been
opened during the past year. This is To-
Gated at the Whittier House, a social
settlement on lower Grand street, and
although but very recently established,
already bids fair to become one of our
largest stations. The system in general
continues to be a great convenience to
our reading public. A gain over last year
is reported of 20,392. The total number of
volumes passing through these stations
was 232,14 or more than 81 per cent. of
our circulation.
Ut has come to be a recognized fact that
our library is a legitimate and active part
of the educational system of this city.
This Is TRUE, not only in it's work with and
for the schools, but each day it is prov
ing itself more of a means and help to
the advanced Student. The use of the re-
erenc room in the evening is a valuable
privilege to many employed during the
day, while the circulating department. al
so records much assistance given to those
who are pursuing special lines of study.
Neither expense nor pains has been spared
IN further cooperation with the schools.
The system of school classics is gradually
increasing, four new s5ts having been
king of the Golden River" Baadwinis
"Chfld Life in Prose-" and the Riverside
School Library, az miscellaneous volumes).
These make a total of about 1900 volumes
circulated I'm This manner among the
Young This branch of our work is de-
servedly popular. The teachers of THE city
have continued to show their appreciation
Of library privileges by am extensive use
of them, 1901 volumes having been drawn
on their special cards.
