Book excerpt: Excerpt from News Notes of California Libraries, Vol. 8: Nos; 1-4, January-October, 1913 All libraries are listed except elementary public school and church libraries and those which belong to private individuals. They are arranged alphabetically by place under counties and counties are arranged alphabetically. To determine the county in which any place is located see list following these introductory paragraphs. Statistics are printed for the quarter, but are sent in by the libraries for each month separately in most cases, and will be furnished to any one who wishes them in the monthly form upon application to California State Library. So that the figures for circulation may be uniform, current magazines are included in the total whether reported that way or not. The annual incomes as quoted for the free public libraries are computed when possible from the city clerks' reports sent to the State Controller's office, and are based on the assessed valuation of non-operative property. Blanks for October, November and December statistics were sent to all of the libraries in December.
