v2 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY 
The greatest need of the library is for more shelf room for 
its publications, due to its growth during the past few years. 
The library is greatly hampered by this need. 
The posting of the monthly bulletin of new publications 
was continued throughout the year. 
During the year many students not connected with the 
Smithsonian Institution found the library of service in seek- 
ing volumes not obtainable in other libraries of the city. 
The library was used also by the Library of Congress and 
officers of the executive departments, and out-of-town 
students have called upon the library for loans during the 
year. In addition to the use of its own library it was found 
necessary to draw on the Library of Congress from time to 
time for the loan of about 400 volumes. - 
There were bound during the year 200 books, pamphlets, 
and serial publications.
