In May a new handbook (68 pages and cover) 3-1/4 × 5-3/4 in., practically following the size of last issue, was sent out, giving list of members, officers and committees, statistical tables, lists of state and local library associations and state library commissions, necrology for the year, and other information of value to members and of use in extending the work of the A. L. A. An edition of 4500 was printed at an expense of $160.60, and about half were mailed, in connection with circular no. 2 regarding the Waukesha meeting. The remainder should suffice for the coming year, with a small supplement to include the new members, and the by-laws to be passed at Waukesha, thus completing the new constitution. Early in June the final announcement was sent out, with private post card enclosed, requesting advance registration. This was entirely successful, 476 persons registering for attendance, up to June 28. A printed list of these, for distribution at the early sessions of the meeting, will, it is confidently expected, more than justify the expense of its compilation. (800 copies, 24 pages, same size as handbook, $32.75.) 2000 copies of program (16 pages, handbook size) were printed and a copy mailed to each person who registered for attendance at the meeting, and to all members of the Association. The secretary's expenses for the year, exclusive of handbook, will be about $400, the chief items being postage and printing. This seems justified, as it has been the means of increasing the income of the A. L. A. by more than the amount expended. Number of letters and postcards written during the year 956, number received about 1000. Gifts to the A. L. A. during the year have included: Current issues of the New York Public Library _Bulletin_, and the _Library Journal_, from the publishers. Reports of the Bristol meeting of the L. A. U. K., from the Honorable Secretary. Report of the trustees of the Public Library of Victoria, Australia, 1900. Catalogue of books on art, from the Newcastle-upon-Tyne Library. Statistics of labor, Conn., Report, 1901. _World_ Almanac, 1901. Annual reports of several American libraries, including Philadelphia Free, Haverhill Public, Somerville Public, and Bowdoin College libraries. In closing I wish to thank all upon whom I have called for information or help, for the promptness and cordiality of their response. GARDNER M. JONES presented the TREASURER'S REPORT.
