evening the Librarians report showed
that during May the total number Of
books issued for home use was 17,4S5.
a decrease Of 1857 over the corre-

endemic. The circulation at the
Brandywine Branc h was 1856, and at
Brandywine Branch was 1856, and at
of distribution in the main showed a
decrease.
The number of books added to the
library was 556. and the number with
drawn. 742, making a net decrease of
1856. The large number withdrawn

the spring the fiction shelves were
carefully gone over and books which
had outlived their usefulness were
Withdrawn.
The registration for the month was
$40. a net increase of fourteen, max
ing the net registration 1852.
