SKETCHES OF OHIO LIBRARIES. Sketches of Ohio Libraries is at last in print and will soon be ready for distribution. The necessary delay in issuing this work is compensated in part by the fact that it has made possible the inclusion of Ohio Library Statistics recently issued from the United States Bureau of Education. The volume will contain about five hundred and fifty pages. ADDITIONAL ROOM NEEDED. One year ago we drew attention to the imperative need of more room for the State Library. The statement was then made that the additional space assigned by the legislature, when available, would afford only slight temporary relief. Most unfortunately the room assigned has not yet been made available. All shelf space is now occupied, and unless additional room is promptly provided future additions to the library must be stored where they can not be made accessible for use. About two hundred volumes of bound newspapers have already been crowded to the floor. There are other needs of which we might speak, but the demand for additional space is so pressing that it must receive first consideration. Unless something is done by the coming legislature to afford at least the relief contemplated by the act of the last, the library will soon be forced to suspend the work of some of its important departments.
