libraries, soon; one to JaCkman, two to
Buxton and one to Tnorndike. The
busy season in this line is just opening,
ana from this time on, Mr.. Carver
anticipates all the work the library de-
partment can handle. The heaviest
drain is upon popular novels. When
thc public once gets after move, it is
almost impossible to get copies fast
enough to supply the demand; and
then the demand falls off, and every
library is left With all these useless
copies on its hands. This troubles the
local libraries of the state a great deal
and Mr.. Carver frequently receives let
tiers asking for advice. He has gener-
ally advised putting in 4 dcpartnentof
the BookloVer' or some other such
library, and allowing those who want
the novels to get them in that way the
public library Keeping only Il copy or
two for its OWE use. This method has
always proven very effective. and IS
being adopted to It considerable extent.
