CLEYELAHD LIBRARY ASSOCIATION ROOMS, I |
2l9Supsrior Street, June l, 1854. 81
The Managers of the Cleveland Library
Association, desirOus Of extending the bene-
fits Of the Institution as widely as possible
aud believing that large numbers of our citi-
zsns are not sufficiently informed Of the ad-
vsntages to be derived from it, have deemed
it advisable to make brief statement OF
facts concerning it;
The Reading Room, on the I'd floor, is
open, every week day, from A.. ". to ten
P. NJ. and contains the Newspapers and most
of the Magazines, Reviews, &C., hereinafter
mentioned.
The Library Room, on the Sd floor, is open
from 10 A. n. to II, from 2 P. N. to P. N.
and from P. n. to P. NJ Here are over
1000 volumes, and many magazines, &c.
The Rooms are we'll lighted, and have
good ventilation, and are kept quiet and or
derly at all times, go as to afford q comfOrts-
Bile and pleasant resort to either Ladies or
Gsntlemen, to either procure books, or to sit
and read, without being disturbed by the
reading or conversation of others.
Membership for Life may be obtained by
the payment of $50, or membership for one
year for $3,-thus for . sum 30 small as
would merely purchase one or two books, or
would pay but for one Magazine, or for a
weekly paper, may be obtained all the priv
iIsges of the Association for one year, inolud-
ing access to over 600 volumes, comprising
! the standard works of Foreign and American
Literature and Scisnos, valuable books Of
Reference, as we'll as the best current publi-
cations of the day, for light reading, &c the
reading Of the principal daily Newspapers
| from all parts of the country; all the best
Magazines, Reviews and other periodicals of
this country and Europe.
The Managers scarcely consider it neces-
sary to press upon the attention of parents
| the benefits that will accrue to their children
| BY being early imbued with taste for read
| ing and by tho habit Of resOrtiDg to q well
selected library for recreation and improve
ment, rather than to those questionable
places Of amusement with which every city
abonnds. To the merchants and other busi-
ness men Of the city, and to all who have
means with the right use Of which they may
benefit others, the Board confidently look for
| a liberal support of such an institution, q
support not measured by the trihing sum re-
quired for yearly membership, but to be be-
slowed with the iiberslity with which such
associations have been endowed in most 9TH
er commercial cities.
| The Board. .lalso invite any persons who
are not already members to call at the Lib
| rary rooms and investigate for themselves as
to the benefits to be obtained.
Certificates Of Membership may be OBJ
tanned of W. ]. TAFT, Librarian, who will be
found in attendance during the hours dssig-
mated for the Library Room.
