LIBRARY NOTES
We have always known that
the Journal is widely read but
we did not realize that our lib
| rary notes would be missed. So,
after an absence of two weeks
we resume our news column.
The duties of the librarian are
very numerous at the. end of
the year which accounts for the
omission of this report.
The report for December is
finished, the annual report is
compiled and the statistical
report has been mailed to Ohio
State Library which is required
of all public libraries in Ohio.
There were 3692 books read in
the month of January, 1859.
School collections accounted for
1865 titles and the rest of the
books were taken from the lib
| rary by both adult and juvenile
patrons. Adults read 1864 titles
and juveniles 563. Non-fiction
titles totaled 112 for the juven-
lie department and 410 in the
adult room. Adults read 1854 in
fiction and children read 45l fic-
ton titles.
The largest circulation in one
day was 247. IL film strips were
loaned, 81 recordings and there
were l72 listeners and viewers.
So new books were catalogued
and 3 new records. Attendance IN
the reading room was 1409.
