REPORT OF LIBRARIAN FOR 1945 
The Library has benefited during the past year by the 
addition of many desirable and suitable books. 
A sum of £3 was mf.de available at the beginning of 
the year for books and a number of the latest editions 
were purchased. These, however, were presented to the 
Club by Mr. G. II. Barker, so further volumes were chosen 
and purchased with the £3. 
The Club is greatly indebted to Mr. Barker for his 
generous donations to the Library, as in addition to the 
above he has presented at intervals during the year many 
of the latest and most desirable “nature” publications. 
All these, in additirn to the gifts of books and maga- 
zines handed in from time to time for many years, warrant 
special mention and our deepest thanks are hereby accord- 
ed to Mr. Barker. 
Other members have also donated desirable books to 
the Library during the year, among them being Miss 
MacCallum. Miss Earnshaw, Miss Baird, Mr. Holland and 
Mr. C. T. White. 
Our gratitude is extended to them also.
