Books Available
Six Months of Progress Shows
Great Increases in Possible
Usefulness and in the Num-
Der Served.

In the six months during which the
Maui County Free Library has been
operating the number of books made
available for readers on this Island
has been increased from 1900 to more
than 4200 1t took over by purchase
from the old Maui Library Associa-
tion 1924 volumes that were suffi-
ciently useful to be catalogged, added
more than 1900 by purchase and gift
and received from the Library of
Hawaii more than 1900 volumes for
permanent use. A large proportion
of the books added by purchase have
been for children which have proved
to be the most outstanding need the
library has been called upon to meet.
The foregoing figures of six months
progress are available from the re-
cords that are kept by Miss Marion
Morse, the librarian.
During March 337 volumes were ad-
ded by purchase and 80 by gift, the
latter including a set of Luther Bur

ence purposes, from Mrs. Hair of

Last month 1872 new borrowers of
books were added to the list in the
main library in Wailuku and the cir
culations shows SOS books taken by
adults and 1862 by children from the
main library, total of 2130 as com
pared with 1444 in February. During
the month 29S volumes were shipped
out to branches and there are now
out at the various branches 1914 vol.
umes. From now on it is planned
steadily to increase the service in the
outside sections by the opening OF
new branches. That branch of the
| library work has been forced to &C
! forward slowly because of the limit
ed number of books available for ser
vice at home and on the outside.
1t is will be the policy of the library
in the next few months to increase
the number of volumes on its shelves
more rapidly and steadily and at the
same time to still further extend its
service. Opening of branches can bc
done more rapidly after the school!

1t has been found that there i!
