The library season has opened once
more with a will and again are the PEG
pie beginning to call for books This was
noticed as the days began to shorten.
September can well be called the first of
ing begins. The books are used at all
times Of the year. but in this month the
calls begin to grow more frequent and
from more people until along in the win
ter everything is running as smoothly as
clockwork and everyone seems to be &C.
cupying his spare hours in reading.
There seems to be a let up in the de-
mand for books Of all classes as the va r
cation months approach and then during
June. July and August the call is exceed :
ingly light.
Assistant Librarian E. w. Emery says
he has noticed in the past two weeks the
increase in the volume of the work of
this sort.
One manner in which this is explained
is that during the summer months the
reading is in lighter lines and in the way
of magazines that have shorter articles
that can be handled in a few hours AMI
do not involve several evenings of read
ing. Then many 10 Ho' hiiu VIC e'hS -
read in the summer when they are out of
doors so much and during the long sum
mer evenings.
With the approach of September comes
the lengthening evenings and the lessen
ing of out of door exercise, and then the
people long for rest and something to oc-
cupv the mind be 1t in the line OF fiction
or IN that Of solid reading. it is all the
same.

Phenomenal. a..

The result is highly satisfactory, but the
satisfaction is greatly increased when we
note that the present, year is starting, out

won through the principles and methods
upon which our large business has been
