NEW BOOKS AT
PUBLIC LIBRARY

The new books bought for the library
In 1909 are rapidly being cataloged and
put on the shelves for the use of the
public, but the four librarians who are at
work there find it hard to keep up with
the increasing demand for new books. In
spite of the fact that some 1000 volumes
have been added lately, the shelves look
robbed.
The best indication of the right sort OF
reading tendencies in Birmingham is the
fact that about 100 works of non-fiction-
works on sociology. science, art religion
history, etc.-are taken out daily. AS
matter of course, the new fiction ana the
children's books are circulated rapidly.
