The publications of the United States Dept. of Agriculture, and the 

 IniUetins of the various state experiment stations, together with the 

 indexes which cover them, are received and filed in the library. We 

 also receive and file the catalogues from the leading educational insti- 

 tutions of the country. These are received in exchange for our own 

 catalogues. 



The number of books loaned during the year for home use was 5,42G, 

 an average of about 452 per month. No record is kept of the books used 

 in tlie library. 



We desire to express our gratitude to the librarians of the University 

 of Michigan, and the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture for the use of books 

 and periodicals which they have kindly loaned to us. 



The library hours have remained unchanged during the year. Our 

 thanks are extended to our assistants for their uniformly efficient service. 

 Our student assistant, Mr. Halsted gave up his Avork in the spring term, 

 and was succeeded by Mr. H. A. Lyon who has given splendid service, 

 and who'm we are pleased to be able to retain for next year. 



To the library of the Experiment Station there have been added .3-37 

 volumes: 6 by purchase, ir)5 by gift, and 170 by binding. This library 

 now contains 5,414 volumes. The college library numbers 37,745 volumes. 

 Total in both libraries, 43,150 volumes. This number includes all de- 

 partment books so far as they have been catalogued. 



Respectfullv submitted,
