LARGE LIST NEW
BOOKS ADDED TO
PUBLIC LIBRARY

culation over that of last year. The
circulation of non-fiction is much
higher this year than ever before
About "a per cent of the circulation
is fiction ana the rest is non-fiction
and juvenile. In most public librar-
les the circulation Of fiction is usu-
ally about 80 rer cent of the total
circulation.
While we are justly proud of this
increase in the circulation OF non-tic-
tion, we dc not mean to apologize for
the percentage of fiction circulation.
Coed books and magazines as means
of diversion are necessity. A good
story nobly conceived and well exc
cutcd is educational and books which
show US chow to live are equally as
important as those which tell us "how
to make a living
1t is interesting to note that since
the 'armistice has been signed and the
interest in books on the war is not
so great, that books on applied scien-
ces, technical and vocational books are
mere in demand than any other class
Of Eon-fiction.
II our library there have been many
requests for books on electricity, en-
gincering, telephony, carpentry, !
