The past year has been a most
profitable one in every sense of the
word.
Two hundred and eighty-six new
books have been added to the circu-
lation, 166 of these being children's
books; and not including the IS
books of fiction taken from the Rent
ing collection.
Our greatest efforts this -ear have
been in connection with the Chill
dren's department, bringing as many
new books as possible and replacing
copies worn and soiled beyond repair.
All possible mending and cleaning
was done with the others, withdraw
ing of many so badly worn and soiled
as to be useless, left our children's
shelves in a greatly improved condi-
ton.
An endless amount of such work is
still necessary, however.
Two hundred and five copies alto
gether have been withdrawn from the
circulation; 100 belonging to the chill
n 6ren's department; SO adult fiction
IA
Eighty-one new books of fiction
have been bought and put into circu-
,ehon through the Rental department,
and S57.48 taken in through the year.
Seyenty-four books in all have been
rebound, 30 of this number being
adult fiction, % bound volumes of
magazines, IL adult non-fiction and
the remaining 80 juveniles.
This work has all been done by the
Democrat Printing Co., Madison, and
is most satisfactory in every way.
S33.15 was taken in in fines during
he year. This was used for small
bills such as telephone, carriage and
freight, postage and inks, paste, ETC.,
and supplies from Democrat Co, such
as catalog cards, book cards, borrow
s erS' cards, rental slips and mending
materials.
The per cent of overdue books is
very small this year.
A very great increase in the use of
the reading rooms this year, as well
as heavy amount of reference work
and increase in circulation made it
imperative to have Miss Sylvester
double her time and together we have
accomplished an enormous amount of
mending and general repair.
New shelves put into the reading
room gave the much needed room for
expansion and by shifting generally
81 the shelves are now just comfortably
filled instead of in a state of chronic
Overcrowding.
Four seats were made into storage
places for magazines, also greatly
needed and most thoroughly appreci-
ated.
AT Christmas time the library was
y most appropriately decorated and
Tree occupying the place of honor re-
eelVed its due share of attention for
The week. Santa Claus with his pack
Of candy for the children spent one
81 afternoon and evening with US.
Good Book Week" was observed
with an exhibit of new books, many
OF them children's and 300 of the lit
Tie booklets issued by the H. w. Will
con Co. distributed through the week.
81 Orders were taken for Christmas pur-
chase for children as a result.
Some good picture exhibits scat
'ered through the year complete the
activities.
among these the Hiawatha pictures
ueSerVe mention, also the Shakes
d peare exhibit, using the midsummer

the enlistment record for the two

Scots, two Irish and no French Cana
