A tabulation was made of a sampling of book charges and their borrowers' class, sex, and grade point average. During a month-long period almost two out of three students borrowed no books. Freshmen borrowed more books per capita than did .their elders. There was direct correlation between grade point average and the number of books charged. Slightly more books were charged per capita to women than to men. The implications of the high incidence of nonuse of libraries upon staffing are discussed.
