Mr. J. L. Sinclair, Librarian.

This library, which is designed for the use of teachers in the State Schools, contains about 900 volumes of history, science, and general literature. It is maintained by an annual subscription of 5s. from head, and 2s. 6d. from pupil teachers, and has about 150 subscribers, half of which are women. Books are lent out for a period not exceeding a month at a time, and, on being labelled O. P. S. O. "on public service only," are transmitted free of charge by the post office. This library has a printed catalogue, issued in 1881. It is located in the Wellesley Street School, Auckland.
