=Travelling Libraries.= From the office of the Travelling Libraries, in
the Central Building, collections of books are sent to communities and
homes in outlying districts of the city; to churches, Sunday schools,
settlements, clubs, stores, factories,--in fact, to any community or
institution not readily served by a Branch Library. There are about 800
stations with Travelling Libraries. The circulation through these
agencies, in 1915, numbered 962,355 books. Travelling Library stations
are established in mercantile houses, in Fire and Police stations, fire
boats, Federal, State, and City Department offices, armories, ships of
the coast guard, vacation playgrounds, and summer camps. Books are sent
in this manner to prisons, workhouses, elementary and high schools,
hospitals, and army posts in New York City.

Libraries, was 4,415,794, or forty-two per cent. of the total
