REPORT OF THE LIBRARY COMMITTEE.
The Committee on Library would report
that they have expended the five hundred
dollars appropriated by the Board for the
purchase of new books. A large part of
the books have been received, catalogued
and numbered, and are now on the shelves
of the Library. The committee haze en-
deavored to crafty every taste in the Sc
lection, not forgetting the boys and girls in
attendance upon our public schools, but
giving them large share. More than four
hundred volumes have been added TO the
Library; and that the books were needed
and are appreciated is manifested by the
fact that they are eagerly sought for by a
new class of readers who have not recently
been in the habit of coming to the Library.
The Library now comprises ten thousand
volumes, and Is not surpassed I'm variety
and excellence by any library of similar
size in the country The establishment of
the Young Mems Reading Room in con-
nection with the Library has impaired a
new interest, and must prove highly bene-
ficial to the community.
The Committee, having prepared a list of
the books they desired to purchase, offered
it in competition to the booksellers of the
city, and Messrs. Payne S Holden, having
made the lowest bid, the contract was
awarded to them. These gentlemen de-
serve the thanks of the Board for their lib
erality, having furnished the books at cost
and at lower rate than they could have
been purchased elsewhere.
