LENDING LIBRARIES. 



The Brancli Libraries are the centres from which books may be 

 borrowed for home reading ; consequently they are much appreciated. 

 The borrowers, as may be inferred from the table showing the various 

 businesses they are engaged in, are persons to whom the Libraries are a 

 boon, alike from the education which they more or less possess, and 

 their limited means. The books issued from these Libraries probably 

 more clearly indicate public taste in reading than the Reference Library, 

 where the books read are for literary and examination work, and not so 

 much to satisfy a free and unrestrained taste. The readers of Free 

 Lending Libraries are largely composed of young persons, consequently 

 no surprise will be produced by the statement that the heading prose 

 fiction includes in these Libraries that vast body of instructive and 

 healthy literature represented by such authors as Ballantyue, Henty, 

 Mayne Reid, and other writers for the young, of whose works liberal 

 provision is made to meet the demand. 



It is reasonable to assume that a book issued for home reading Avill 

 be more or less perused by other members of the family or household
