evening the librarian's report showed
that during May the total number of
books issued for home use was 17,435,
a decrease of 1,687 over the corre
sponding month of last year. This de
crease was very largely due to the
fact that the library was closed for
four days because of the smallpox
epidemic. The circulation at the
Brandywine Branc h was 1.056, and at
Brandywine Branch was 1,056. and at
of distribution in the main showed a
decrease.
The number of hooks added to the
library was 556, and the number with
drawn. 742. making a net decrease of|
186. The large number withdrawn
was due to the fact that, as usual in
the spring the fiction shelves were
carefully gone over and books which!
had outlived their usefulness were!
withdrawn.
The registration for the month was|
340. a net Increase of fourteen, mak-l
ing the net registration 17.632:
