That the receipts in the book fund for 1880 were the largest in the history of the Library. 2. That the amount expended for books ($6,247.22) is $3,581 in excess of, or more than double, the average of former years; while the total expenditure for books, periodicals and binding is $2,140 more than the amount appropriated by the School Board for that purpose. The increase, therefore, to the permanent capital of the Library has been greater this year than ever before, while the administrative demands have constantly increased. 3. That the revenue from the collection of duplicates has largely increased during the period covered by these statistics. The receipts for fines being incorporated in three separate items, it may be well to mention that the aggregate for 1880 is $901.70. Similiar favorable comparisons might be made proportionately for the seven months of 1881. |
