Its only purpose seems to be the storing of books which can be taken out when the weather is gloomy and nothing else can be done except read a book to make the hours seem so much shorter. When one thinks of a library, he may think of just that thing be- cause a library is there primarily for the distribution of books. But if one thinks of a library that cir- culates books only he is not think- ing of the St. Clair Branch of the Cleveland Public Library. Only a look at the list of ac¬ tivities v/hich are constantly going on would be enougb to convince the most sceptical that the St. Clair Library is . a difference plače. It distributes books and many of them besides doing ali sorts of things which are ol in¬ teresi to the community. While the library Stores 29,047 books its cfrculation figures show that on the average every book has been taken out at least six times during the past year. There is a total of 182,389 books drawn from the library during the past year.
