graphic work, thus relieving Miss Brewster of her one hour a 
day in the library. The library has thus been receiving daily 
two more hours of assistance. 
Appropriate exhibits of books were held in conjunction with the 
usual annual functions of the Garden, as well as at the reception 
tendered Dr. A. H. Graves and Miss Elsie Hammond. 
The library was represented at the New York Library Club and 
at the New York Special Library Association during the past year.

The preparation, classification, and cataloging of new publica- 
tions, including the collection recently ordered from abroad, 
numbering over three hundred volumes and pamphlets, will prob- 
ably constitute a large part of the work for the year. 
The binding of serials, as well as shabby and broken-backed 
books, should, if possible, form one of the important tasks. There 
is now an accumulation of both books and serials which should be 
forwarded to the binder at the earliest date possible. 
We do not see how, with the amount of work in hand, and no 
more assistance in the library than we have at present, much work 
can be accomplished on the serial shelf list and catalog. 
For list of donors and gifts see Appendix I (pp. 80-81).
