A Public Library for Washington.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
One Of the pressing wants of this city is that
Of public library and reading room accessible
10 ell the citizens OF the District. There is
probably no city in the United States having
population equal to Washington that is net
provided with such an institution. 1t is a con-
slant matter Of surprise to strangers coming to
the city to find that no library is maintained
here. Many of these strangers would gladly
patroniZe such an institution during their
sojourn and greatly disappointed
that no library is accessible to them.
1t IS true that number of circulating libraries
are maintained by executive apartments of the
government. but these are brought within the
reach only OF & small portion of the citizens Of
the District 1t Is also true that the great Con-
gressional Library is lpeatetl in this CITY. but
this Is practically closed 30 the pablo at large.
In view of these facts il seems very desirable
that some steps should he taken at an early dav
toward the establishment OF a permanent and
adequate pubic library for the city,
either free library or sIibscrip-
ton library. The erection in the immediate
future of large pubic building for the ac-
