For the three months of September, October and November of this year the total number of people using the library was 8,526. The number for the same months of last year was 4,786. This is smaller than would have been the case in normal times, because of the influenza epidemie. However, the number for these three months of the year before (1917) was 6,813. The total for the three months this year (1919) is nearly 3,000 more than that of two years ago (1917), and 3,740 more than last year (Sept.- Nov. 1918).
