	Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

	September 30, 1997


NOTE 1.	The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included 
herein have been prepared by Registrant and include all normal and recurring
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position at September 30, 1997, the results of
operations and the statement of cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Auto-Graphics, Inc. and all its wholly-owned
subsidiaries.  All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.

	The results of operations for the subject periods are not 
necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

	This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is qualified in its entirety
by the information included in the Company's Annual Report to the SEC 
on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 1996 including, without
limitation, the financial statements included therein.

NOTE 2.	The Company entered into a stock repurchase agreement with a former 
employee and officer of the Company, Douglas K. Bisch, whereby the Company
agreed to purchase and retire, over a seven-year period, 156,000 of 171,000
shares of Company stock owned by Mr. Bisch.  In January 1997, the Company
purchased and retired the third block of 15,600 shares.

NOTE 3.       As of July 1, 1997, the Company acquired the assets of the
Library Information Systems ("LIS") division of ISM Information Systems 
Management Manitoba Corporation ("ISM"), a subsidiary of IBM Canada, 
Ltd.  The LIS business includes bibliographic cataloging and 
interlibrary resource sharing software and related services.  The 
assets acquired include a database containing over 55 million 
bibliographic and authority records together with the holdings of 
most Canadian public and university libraries, software, computer 
equipment, furniture, and leasehold improvements.  The Company has 
formed a wholly-owned subsidiary in Canada called A-G Canada Ltd. 
headquartered in Etobicoke, Ontario near Toronto, and hired 
seventeen former employees of the LIS division.  Results for the 
three months ending September 30, 1997 have been included in these 
consolidated financial statements.

Item 2.	Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operations.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

December 31, 1996 to September 30, 1997

	Liquidity and capital resources.  Working capital decreased 
$166,000.  Long-term debt was increased by $843,000 as a result of the 
acquisition financing.  Actual capital expenditures were $1,762,000.  The 
average collection period for accounts receivable increased from 67 days at 
December 31, 1996 to 82 days at September 30, 1997, partially due to delayed 
funding of two large customers.

	The Company has a revolving credit facility under which borrowings 
are secured by accounts receivable, whereby the Company may borrow against its 
eligible accounts receivable up to a maximum of $1,250,000 ($650,000 available 
at September 30, 1997) with interest at the bank's prime rate.  Management 
believes that the current line of credit, which is renewed annually in June, 
will again be renewed in 1998, and is sufficient to handle cyclical working 
capital needs.  There are no compensating balance requirements, or note 
guarantors.  This agreement contains the same loan covenants as the capital 
line of credit.

	The Company also has a capital line of credit facility providing for 
maximum borrowings of $3,750,000 ($206,000 available at June 30, 1997), with 
interest equal to the bank's prime rate, for the purchase of equipment and 
financing of internal software development costs.  The capital line of credit 
is renewed annually in June and management believes that the current line of 
credit will be renewed in 1998.  Among other requirements, the capital line of 
credit note payable requires the Company to maintain minimum financial 
covenant ratios, and prohibits the payment of cash dividends.  There are no 
commitment fees, or compensatory balance requirements.


	In June 1995, the Company entered into a stock repurchase agreement 
with a former director of the Company, whereby the Company agreed to purchase 
and retire, in 1995, 115,000 of 141,000 shares of Company stock owned by the 
stockholder.  The total transaction cost of $230,000 will be paid in four 
annual installments beginning in 1995 plus interest of 5.5% per annum ($65,000 
paid in June 1995, $55,000 paid in June 1996 and 1997, and $55,000 to be paid 
in June 1998).

	The Company's capital resources may be used to support working 
capital requirements, capital investment and possible acquisitions of 
businesses, products or technologies complementary to the Company's current 
business.  The Company believes that current cash reserves and cash flow from 
operations are sufficient to fund its operations in 1997.  However, during 
this period or thereafter, the Company may require additional financing.  
There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available on 
terms favorable to the Company, or at all.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Nine Months 1997 as Compared to First Nine Months 1996

     Net sales were essentially unchanged at $6.7 million year to date.

     Cost of sales increased $90,000 or 2%.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $178,000 or 8%.
     As a percentage of sales, these expenses decreased from 35% to 32%.

     Interest expense/other increased $20,000 or 11%.  Net interest expense 
     increased $19,000 as a result of lower interest rates on higher average
     borrowings in 1997 associated with the acquisition financing.  Other
     income in 1996 was $26,000 versus $25,000 in 1997 representing expense
     reimbursements from other firms.

     Income from operations increased $94,000, or 41%, to $325,000 in 1997, 
     up from $231,000 in 1996.

     Net income increased $52,000, or 41%, to a $177,000 net income in 1997, 
     up from an $125,000 net profit in 1996.  Net income per share increased
     45% to $0.16 in 1997, up from $0.11 in 1996.


Third Quarter 1997 as Compared to Third Quarter 1996

     Net sales increased $695,000 or 32%.

     Cost of sales increased $610,000 or 50% reflecting additional
     operating costs associated with additional sales.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were essentially
     unchanged from 1996. As a percentage of sales, these expenses
     decreased from 37% to 28%.

     Interest expense/other increased $23,000.  Net interest expense 
     increased $22,000 due to higher debt levels associated with financing
     the acquisition offset by lower interest rates.  Other income in 1996
     was $26,000 versus $25,000 in 1997 representing expense reimbursements
     from other firms.


     Income from operations increased $62,000 from $74,000 in 1996 to 
     $136,000 in 1997 due to the marginal contribution of the revenues from
     the acquisition.

     Net income increased $33,000 to $73,000 in 1997, up 81%.  Net income per 
     share increased from $0.04 to $0.07.
