LENDING LIBRARIES. 

 The statistics of tlie North and South Lending Branches show little 

 change during the last two or three years. It has been found that four 

 thousand readers at each library are as many as can satisfactorily be attended 

 to, and that any increa'fee to this number appears to have the effect of 

 crowding out the older readers. Prose fiction still largely predominates in 

 the issues , but in this respect Liverpool differs little from other large towns 

 possessing free libraries. 



Donations have been received from the following authors :-Mr. Samuel 

 Huggins, Mr. J. S. Maccrom, and Mr. William Woodall.
