Abstract of Annual Report. During the year eleven ordinary and three special meetings have been held. One hundred and eighty-three new books have been received from Mudie and Co., of London, and this addition to the Library increases the number of volumes to upwards of 2170. The reading-room has been well attended during the year, the number of visitors availing themselves of its advantages being considerably more than for the year 1879. The sum of £70 17s. 10d. was received, being the society's portion of the amount voted by Government to free libraries, and £25 as share of rent derived from the Government House, Hokitika. The accounts show:—Balance in the Bank of New Zealand, £77 6s. 6d.; cash in hand, £1 5s; overdue subscriptions, £15 15s.; rent due for the society's reserve, £6; and subsidies of £15 each due from the Borough and County Council, making a total of £130 6s. 6d.; liabilities, £7 0s. 5d.; thus showing a credit balance to the Society of £123 6s. 1d. The number of members on the roll for 1879 was 115; and for this year 110, thus showing a decrease of 5 members for the year.
