We have also received a few copies of several other of our county papers, all 

 •of which we are very glad to have, as some one will be sure to want them dur- 

 ing the vear. 



Library hours have been lengthened to fifty-six hours a week, for students, 

 and during late fall and early spring, when regular work is not furnished, the 

 library is open seventy hours a week to all. 



Eleven new large lamps have been hung in the alcoves, a number of chairs 

 added, and nettings hung at the doors and windows. 



Excellent success has been had the past year in securing books by exchange, 

 both from other States and from abroad; it will be necessary during the next 

 two years to increase the shelf room of the library, either by adding shelves at 

 the top of the present shelves, or at the front of the alcoves, or by placing a 

 tier of shelves in the center of the room. 



The librarian feels it a duty to call attention to the need of a work-room and 

 store room; the library is growing quite rapidly and all accessions and accu- 

 mulations must at present be handled in the sight and hearing of all readers 

 .and visitors.
