CIRCULATION
The usual September reading slump is apparent in the 3,830 loss in circulation
from the previous month, However, the general "pwaaad trend is .still evident in the
2.1 percent ciroculatten Increase over that of September 1959. It is interesting how
true to pattern yeaaly and monthly ci.r ulaation ffgass agree.
MEETINGS Ar?EN ED
The Librarian, Mrs. Bergring, Miss OWN and Mrs. Cohe det, attended the C.L.A.
Convention in Pasadesso The wretIng was ane of the most successful conventions that the
C.L.A. has so far canducted. TA speichas mr;n ence tionally good, and the various
minor meetings were well attended.
Of the various Ideas and plans dei=eYped at the convention, the possible reactivation
of the "last copy" programs will have great sIgnifleance in the Inter®libraary loan field.
We should probably join this program if it is rentivated May sending copies of our shelf
list cards to the Union Catalog in the State LibrAryo We have riany books on this that
could be used if others knew was had them. `leis service would partly repay our use of
Interlibrary loan.
The idea that has been pwoposcd from time to time that we could be a little Huntington
does not seem to be too far fetched. Certainly. in this community there are m ny works
of art and many valuable books which could be donated to the library and a "little
Huntington* could be demtoped. Along this lire, we have recently received a wall hanging
valued at $550, and two nineteenth century tapestries valued at $950. The present value
of the tapestries now owned by the libury is aver $25,000 — a not so poor beginninix
