ANNUAL REPORT OF
LIBRARY ISSUED

Figures in the annual report Of the
Grand Forks public library. compiled
by Miss Jessie Bulge. librarian. show
that there has been an Increase Of 81
per cent in the circulation of books.
The report shows that the total num-
Der OF books circulated was 1878.
an increase OF 10,2S5 or 20 per cent
over last year.
The circulation OF fiction increased
more than that OF n~on-fction. The
figures compiled show that one-third
Of the books circulated are from the
juvenile departments. although this
department contains only one-tenth of
the total number of books in the
library.
Saturday morning story hours have
proved popular this last year, and the
crowded conditions at the library on
Saturday mornings make it imperative
to have larger quarters for this pur-
pose. SO the library board has decided
to move the children's room to the
basement auditorium during the next
school year.
The number OF adult readers using
the library increased 55 per cent dur
ing the last year and the number Of
students was 1859, or almost double
the number Of last year. The total
number Of new books added to the
library shelves during the year was
696. There are now 9,211 volumes in
the library.
