APPENDIX A(o)-
REPORT ON THE WORK OF NATIONAL
 LIBRARY, CALCUTTA
 

The shifting of the National Library, Calcutta from 5, Esplanade East to the Belvedere started late in 1948. The programme of additions and alterations to the Belvedere is now almost complete and it is hoped that the Library will formally be opened to the public during 1952.

The first section of Bibliography of Indology, namely Anthropology, together with its author index, was completed in so far as the collection of data and the setup were concerned. The Bibliography Section also compiled a large number of short bibliographies in response to enquiries received from the various offices and institutions. The Library cooperated in holding Library Training Classes conducted by the Calcutta University and provided facilities for the Summer Training School conducted by the Bengal Library Association, with the Librarian as the Director of the School.

The U. S. Consulate in Calcutta held an Exhibition of American books at the Library.
