The following is the annual re port for the year ending December 31, 1915: In 1915 the library made the larg est growth since It was established In 1892. The circulation Increased 29 pet cent over that of 1914. The gain In circulation was about evenly divided between the three depart ments, children's books, adult fic tion and adult non-fiction, the gain In adult non-fiction being slightly larger than the other departments. We hope the Increase will continue. The library has received a number of gifts of books in the past year, also a number of magazines and pic tures which were very acceptable. We are glad to have people pass their books and magazines on to us when they are through with them. It gives others a chance to enjoy them, and gives the library management a chance to spend the library money for other much needed things. During the year there were added to the children's department three new tables and eighteen chairs, grad ed as to size from the youngest library reader up. And the children were also favored through the months of June, July and August with a story hour one day In each I week, and It Is hoped to have It again next vacation. Book Account.
