Over 900 volumes are now shelved in the Overflow Collection 

 in the lower stack room for lack of shelf space in the library.

The Junior Class, consisting of 40 students of the Library 

 School of the New York Public Library, made their annual 

 visit to the Garden on May 23d. After a talk by the librarian 

 on library methods and on the work of the library, tea was served, 

 and Dr. Graves outlined the various activities of the Garden. 

 The class was then conducted over the grounds by Dr. Graves 

 and Miss Young.
