The Salem Public Library Is one of
the few public institutions, able to
"break even" financially, despite ad
vancing prices. The financial state
ment of the library shows that It Is
able to match expenses with receipts.
During the past year, Stll patrons
have been added to the lists of the
library. A a reaction from war con
ditions, the' librarian makes c mnnent
that calls for fiction have Increased.
Another post-bellum Influence Is
found In the noticeable demand hy
returned soldiers, for works on indus
trial nit and social and labor prob
lems. This demand Is unprecedented
and has taxed the resources of the
library.
