ANNUAL REPORT OF LIBRARY IS
 MADE PUBLIC
Much Literature Has Been Sent to Surrounding Camps; Is Greatly
 Appreciated.
LETTERS TO COMMITTEE
Indicate That the Work of the Library Is Having a Beneficial In-
 fIuenCe.

The Distribution Committee is comprised of three members, and, during the past year has been rep resented at various times by Mes danes Fisher, Kashevaroff, Me Naughton and Welch Mrs. Kashe- varoff acting the entire time as chairman.
 They have sent each week an av- craze of eight packages and Food Commission pamphlets to the vari- ous outlying camps, lighthouses, etc. The packages have been made up of magazines donated by kindly citizens of Juneau and the vicinity. The various mining and lumber ing camps, canneries and light houses included in this list are as follows:
 Fanshaw, Taku Harbor, Five Finger Lighthouse, Killisnoo,, Hoo nah, Gypsum, Snettisham, Tenakee, Warm Springs Bay, Funter Suloia Bay, Windham Bay, Bells Can nery, Gambler Bay, Freshwater Bay, Port Walter, Eagle River, Jualin, Sentinel Island, Wm. Henry Bay, Eldred Rock Lighthouse, Comet, Washington Bay, Excursion Inlet, Mendenhall, Chichagoff, Chatham Straights, Cape Edward, Red Bluff Bay, Vogel's Pile Camp, Deep Sea Salmon Co.,, and Rake. A short time ago letters were sent by the committee to the vari- ous recipients of the magazines asking if the reading matter was appreciated, and if it's continuance was desired. The replies that were received were of such a nature that the committee felt more than re paid for their efforts, and were sure that the donors of magazines would feel the same.
 Extracts from a few of the replies are as follows
 We have received the litera-
 ture you have been sending and
 we certainly have appreciated
 it. 1 don't know what we
 would have done this winter
 without it, affd I hope you will
 continue to send it'
 "You don't know how much
 your magazines are appreciated.
 No one has much to do here but
 read and it seems that so few
 subscribe for magazines of any
 sort. The children especially
 enjoy them"
 Will state that reading mat
 ter is welcome in any light
 house isolated from the main
 land. l sincerely thank you,
 as do my assistants, for fa-
 vors rendered by the Juneau
 Public Library. All reading
 matter is used and appreciated
 as well. When we are through
 with the different periodicals
 we sort out and save them for
 others less fortunately situat-
 ed than ourselves, forwarding
 them at the first opportunity.
 "The packages of magazines
 were received and distributed.
 They were very much appreci-
 ated in the woods. Thanking
 you, etc.
 "Pll be pleased to have the
 good work go on in the future
 and can assure you that what
 ever you send will be thank
 fully received. Just the other
 day we were talking of your
 kindness in remembering us
 out in this remote, forsaken
 but not entirely forgotten place.
 Thanks for your kindness. We
 sure would like all you can spare."
