Abstract
UP to the present the war strain has not had a great effect upon the libraries of this country. Issues have naturally fallen in some departmentsparticularly in districts where there is a large floating population of aliensbut this has been counterbalanced by increased use in other directions. Many libraries have already been made the local headquarters of relief committees, special constabulary, the National Reserve, boy scouts' associations, etc., and as recruiting stations, and where there is sufficient accommodation, it is proper that the familiar library building should be so used for these emergency national affairs.
