LIBRARY 



There has been no change in the library staff. Accessions during 

 the fiscal year totaled 395. 



Eight new exchanges were added during the year, three of these 

 being large, important sets, one domestic and two foreign. 



Library of Congress cards have been obtained for practically all 

 of the new material received as well as for some older items. Analyti- 

 cal entries have been made for all periodical items in the Bureau's 

 field received since April 1936. The depository set of Library of 

 Congress catalog cards is now installed in working order and has 

 proved to be a great help to the staff as well as to those in the library. 



The librarian attended the meetings of the Inter- American Bib- 

 liographical and Historical Association in February 1938, and made 

 arrangements to exchange cards for South and Central American 

 Indian languages and folk-lore entries with Dr. Boggs, of the Uni- 

 versity of North Carolina.
