The usefulness OF the travelling Libraries
as sent out by the Vermont state board OF
library commissioners is shown by the
following data in regard TO the library
used in the school at Brookfield:-Th
number Of pupils having access to the IL
hrarv Is %. and the number Of books
loaned from Dec. to March Q, 1910, was
10, or an average of about SO per month.
This average OF each pupil taking out
more than one book per month shows
how much use is derived from 3 small Ii
brary in a rural school. Also the teacher
feels that It is not only benefit to the
children but greatly increases the etfi-
cheney of her school work by giving her
material with which to work that she
would not otherwise have.
