This is a raise of 3484 over June s year ago. Almost 300 students have enrolled in the summer reading program. The studeuts seem to be still inter- ested in spite of knowing that there are no material comFensations. The book budget h~s been practically exhausted. This was intentional .since we w;n~ed ~11 the books we could offer for the increased summer readers. The new shelves were added Memorial D~y. This r~lieves some of the shelf congestion. For ne>t year it ~ould be interesting to con~ider n~rrow shelves for the pocket books ~nd ~ book return. Also think over ~he possibility of a book co?ier. The money for ertrp s~l~ries ?id out this year f~r is $1,.740.60. For this s~me 7eriod l~st yea9 $1,075.12 was used. The circulation for the first six :~onths this year is 41,184.
