According to R. P. Blake, Director of the College Library, the short hours which have been in effect since September have not greatly affected the number of books that circulate from Widener in all departments of the University. As was estimated when it was decided to close the Library evenings and Sundays, a saving of $16,000 will be effected by the close of the year. The policy will be continued next year and probably even longer.
Little Inconvenience
Professor Blake Expressed the Opinion that the plan has done no injustice to the students, but in those cases where there has been great inconvenience special arrangements have been made. There has been a slow but steady increase each year in the number of books taken for outside use but this year the increase has been more rapid. The desk use in the reading room has decreased but the overnight privilege has correspondingly increased. The figures for the reading room are as follows: It will be noticed that the combined desk and overnight circulation has remained practically constant for both years. The total circulation of the library has increased over last year by almost 4000 volumes.
