In view of the many in- jquiries which have already been re- ceived in regard to this form of mem- I bership, it is anticipated that the sys tem will prove even more popular than it was last year. It waa further voted, particularly in view of the needs of students in the public schools and for the convenience of winter residents who are remaining in town until late in the season, to con tinue the winter schedule of library hours throughout the entire month of May. This is somewhat to extend the service which was available a year ago. The librarian's report showed an at tendance during April of 513, and a circulation of 723 volumes.

These figures indicate a steadily increasing use of the Li brary, both among residents of the to^.^fti .yiaitors, aqd-a. cor responding increase in the demand upon its resources. An effort has been made to meet the wishes of patrons in regard to the type and subject of material purchased, and to place con stantly at their disposal the best of the new books, both in fiction and non-fiction. During the winter sea son 150 new volumes have been added to the shelves; 33 have been donated.
