PUBLIC LIBRARY.
During the month of February the number of books issued from the circulating department of the Public Library was 9015, compared with 7514 issued during February last year. In the reference library, 1049 works were consulted, this being an increase of 250 over the total for February, 1917. \ In the juvenile library, 1362 volumes were taken out for home reading, being 430 more than for February last year. The number of new hooks added to the circulating library was slightly below the average, due possibly to the shipping delays. However, 63 new volumes were placed on the shelves.
