necessary to circulate books from it..
A set of books in the school libraries
has been ordered for this branch, so
that children in that neighborhood
will have for home reading the books
seen at the schools.
IMPROVEMENTS AND NEED OF
ROOM.
Among other improvements outside
the children's room may be mentioned
the adding of another glass case for
specially valuable books and the sub
stitution in the reading room of tables
and portable files for the old news
paper reading racks. The rapid growth
of the collection made it necessary to
find room for shelving books. Tenn
pOrary relief has been afforded by
shelving a large portion OF the sheep
bound set of government documents in
the basement. 1t was also found nece6-
sary to make use of the basement for
receiving the large consignment of
books for the schools. Hot, dark and
unhealthful as the room was, the
catalOguers We're obliged to work there
while preparing these books for dis
t1ibutiOn to the schools. But perhaps
the most crying need for room, unless
it be in the children's department, is
in the librarians office and in the
work room 1t frequently happens that
five or six persons must work in the
office. Desk room, is altogether in
adequate and frequently the work must
be done at a disadvantage. This il
even more true of the work room. Here
all books are unpacked; nearly 2,50C
Il.
newspapers and periodicals waiting
binding are stored; books are prepared
for the bindery and checked on theii
return, in addition to several Othel
miscellaneous uses.

The gifts during the year have been
numerous. They include l,2S4 Douhd
volumes. 3.141 pamphlets, 2,I5l mum
hers of MAGAZINES, besides maps and
leaflets. From the u. S. Government
came 2S6 volumes and 1863 pamphlets.
The Historical Society Of Delaware
turned over to the library 435 volumes,
II pamphlets and 3 maps. MANY ol
these proved to be duplicates, puO
others have been of service IN COM
pleting sets. A large number OF VIII
mington friends have given numerous
unbound periodicals. Some OF these
have been of service in our efforts TO
restore mutilated magazines and the
illustrated magazines have furnished
valuable material for the picture Dulle-
fins. The public school teachers have
made generous responses to the appeals
for back volumes of Wilmington pubic
school reports wanted for exchange.
A list of donations follows this report
1t includes not only gifts of books,
pamphlets and periodicals, but also
educational cabinets, photographs, en-
Cravings, posters, etc. These numer-
Gus gifts. coming from a large number
Of different persons, show that the IL
brary has a strong hold on the ahec-
tions of the people Of Wilmington.
