CLEVELAND LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Rooms, I
2l9 Superior Street, June l, 1864.


The Managers of the Cleveland Library
! Association, dssirous of extending the bene-
fits of the Institution as widely as possible,
and believing that large numbers Of our oiti-
zsus are not sufficiently informed of the sd-
Vantages 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 s A. V. to ten
P. n. and contains the SsSsns9s1aJ10d.Eesf
mentioned.
The Library Room, on the Sd floor, is open
from 10 A. n to Il, from 2 P. n. to P. n.
and from P. N. to Q P. n. Here are over
Z, ,OOo volumes, and many magazines, 90.
Tha Rams -A---ii-i;-1fA-Al -h@a-
derIy at all times, so as to afford q eomforts-
BILE and pleasant resort to either Ladies or
Gentlemen, to either procure books, or to sit
and read, without being disturbed by the
res ding or conVersation Of others.
Membership for Life may be obtained by
the payment of $50, or membership for ore
wear for $3,-thus for a sum so small as

would nav but for one Magazine, or for 5
weekly paper, may be obtained all the priv
iIeges of the Association for one year. includ-
| inc access to over 900 volumes, comprising g
| the standard works of Foreign and American
Literature and Science, valuable books OF
Reference, as well 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 countTyi gil 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
/ L L. ,kVfad nit q aEta for Rad
ing and BY the habit of resOrting to well
| selected library for recreation and improve
ment, rather than to those questionable
pIaces 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
benefit others, the Board confidently look for
| a liberal suppert of such an institution, a
support not measured by the triAing sum re-
uuired for yearly membership, but to be be-
slowed with the Hberslity with which such
associations have been endowed in most 9TH
or commercial cities.
The BosrdIalso invite any persons who
are not already members to call at the Lib
rary rooms and investigate for themselves sE
to the benefits to be obtained.
Certiacstss Of Membership may be OBJ
| tanned of W. J. TAFT, Librarian, who will be
mated for the Library Room.
