Our reading rooms are temporarily closed
and we wait with interest their reopening.
A city of Ogden's size should have read
ia ? room on the ground floor, well lighto
and filled with good reading matter,as well
as all innocent amusements, etc The e
are a large number Of people here now,
away from home and its happy influences,
subject to all the loneliness OIL a boarding
house life and a strange place. There
could be nothing more welcome to these
people than an attractive reading room.
Let all encourage this matter when it
comes up and lend Il helping hand. The
Women's Christian Temperance Union
have had a struggle to keep the room open
and provide for its patrons. Let US all help
tighten their burden when opportunity
offers.
