Says
Readers Prefer
Standard Works

The FL Paso public library circu-
lated $500 more books during 1913
than il circulated during 1918. accord
ing 20 the annual report just filed
with the board Of directors BY Mrs.
Maud d. sullivan, librarian. The num-
Der Of books circulated in 1913 was
I03,743, although only 96f2 new books
were placed on the shelves during the
year.
The year 1913 was the most inter
esting in the library's history, Mrs.
Sulivau says There are 1888 circu-
lating volumes in the library, which
means that each book was used on an
average OF 6 = times The truth is Of
course, that some Of the books were
not used more than once while 9TH
ers were used constantly.
Demand For NOnfietiOn.
one OF the remarkable things point
ed out is the comparatively low per
centage Of fiction in the library and
in demand This percentage is only
50 percent and the demand for non
fiction Is growing daily.
Il is the ambition Of the librarian
and the library board to make the
circulation larger in 1920. The slogan
fo- the year is a library card in every
home"
In addition TO many reference books
and the children's and school libraries.
