2l9 Superior Street, June l, 1864. !
N sgourzIrUu, uusIrUus UI 1xJ5uuIug the Dene-
Cts of the Institution as widely rs possible,
aud believing that large numbers Of our citi-
zsns are not sufficiently informed Of the ad-
Vantases to be derived from it, have deemed
II advisable to make brief statement Of
facts concerning 1t:
The Reading Room, on the I'd floor, is
qn4n- sXary. .Eeskl day, from 8 An ten
of the Magazines, Reviews, &c, hereinafter
The Library Room, on the Sd aOOr, is open
from 10 A. II. to Il, from P. N. to P. Il.
and from 7 P. II. to 9P. n. Here are over
7. 900 volumes, and many magazines, &c.
The Rooms are we'll lighted, and have
GOOD ventilation, and are kept quiet and or
derIy at all times, so az to afford eomforta-
bIa and pleasant resort to either Ladies or
Gsutlemen, 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
wear for S3,-thus for q sum SO small "a
wouId merely purchase one or two books, or
would pay but for one Magazine, or for q
| weekly paper, may be obtained all the priv
| ileses Of the Association for one year, includ-
| inc access to over Z, 900 volumes, comprising
/ the standard works of Foreign and American
/ literature and Science, valuable books Of
Reference, IS well as the best current publi-
/ cations of the day, for light treading, &c the
reading of the principal daily Newspapers
from ali parts of the country; all the best
Magazines, Reviews and other periodicals OF
this coun ny and Europe.
The Managers scarcely consider 1t neces-
sarv to press upon the attention OF parents
the benefits that will accrue to their children
bv being carly imbued with taste for road
ing and by the habit Of resorting to well
selected library for recreation and improve
ment, rather than to those questionable
nIaosa Of Amusement with which every city
sbounds. To the merchants and other bust
ness men Of the city, and to all who have
means with the right use Of which they may
bsnsfit others, the Board confidently look FOL
a liberal support of such an institution,
,pnDort not measured by the trihing sum re-
ouired for yearly membership, but to be be-
slowed with the iberslity with which sueh
assooiations have been endowed In most 9th
or commercial cities.
The Board,la invite any persons Wit
are not already members to call at the Lib
rarv rooms and investigate for themselves a
to the benefits to be obtained.
Certificates Of Membership may be OBJ
tanned of W. ]. Tais, Librarian, who will b.
found in attendance during the hours desig
mated for the Library Room.
