Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Librarian of Congress for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 1950 More requests for service have been received than ever before m the history of the Service: in fiscal 1950 as compared with the year before and in 1948. During both February and March 1950, twice as many inquiries were made as were made in all of 1935. The installation of air-conditioning in the Congressional Reading Room (recently transferred to the handsome pavilion in the southwest corner of the main ﬂoor) has made it at once more habitable and more attractive. Evidence of this im provement is found in the fact that whereas there were only thirty-eight readers in the last week of July 1949; there were seventy six readers in the last week of July 1950.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Librarian of Congress: For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1945 The Library has grown great, and the mark of its greatness is the growth of its responsibilities. Because this is so, it should be declared now and unequivocally that my colleagues and I repudiate every movement toward reckless aggrandize ment, and that we disclaim any ambition to absorb any and all national and inter national functions elsewhere satisfactorily and consistently performed in the public interest. As for the American library system, it is our fixed purpose to supple ment rather than supplant the' local re source.
