The reading room was open each weekday for 7 hours and "Sabbath afternoon" for two hours. No statistics were kept, but the reference department seemed used twice as much as any previous year.
** The loan of books to teachers begun when the library became a school district library was continued with the purchase of books solely for use in schools.
** A traveling library department was established during this year and for each month of the year, a collection of from 30 to 50 books in a small books case was sent to each school in the city. These books could be taken home by the students so a basis for the school branches to be established in the 1920's and later was made.
