70 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1921. 



received through exchange. The bureau has also received 269 pam- 

 phlets, giving at the close of the year a working library of 24,155 

 volumes, 14,777 pamphlets, and several thousand unbound periodicals. 



During the year an increasing number of visitors have applied to 

 the library for books. Information has been furnished and biblio- 

 graphic notes compiled for the use of correspondents. The officials 

 of the Library of Congress and of the Government departments have 

 also made use of the library through frequent loans during the year. 



In addition to the use of its own library, which is becoming more 

 and more valuable through exchange and by limited purchase, it 

 was found necessary to draw on the Library of Congress for the loan 

 of about 500 books. 



As mentioned in the last annual report, one of the most urgent 

 needs of the library at the present time is more shelf room for its 

 books.
