...increase in these figures for 1916-17 was to be expected, since in the previous year the use of the Library was diminished during the process of removal in the summer, while the stalls of the stack were not properly equipped for use until February. A comparison month by month between the two years shows a marked increase during the fall and winter months of 1916-17 as compared with the same months of 1915-16, but from April on, with the more active interest in military affairs there was a distinct dropping off in all figures even
