Non. L. o. Carver.

In reappointing Hon. l.. ID. Carver nj
State librarian, Governor Cleaves has paid &
merited compliment TO one Of the most pop
uIsr and efficient Of our State officials. Few
people realize the magnitude Of the work
that has been accomplished by Mr.. Carver
since he took charge Of the State library
though all accustomed to use ii can but Ap-
preciate its results.
Under his administration the library has
been thoroughly systematised and provided
with an exhaustive card catalogue. In in
PRODUCING this modern method of I'M
locking the treasures of information con-
tanned in the library and rendering them
available for ready reference, the utmost
care and thoroughness has been used.
About q year ago the author and title csta-
logue was completed and is now up to date.
Since that time work has been pushed upon
the subject catalogue, and this, too Is now
nearing comtl- tin.
To Mr.. Carver fell the task of removing
the library from its quarters under the
.kylights of the old building to the
pleasant rooms provided for it in the an
mex. This was task of no small magni-
tude, involving, as 1t did, the handling over
and re arranging of about one hundred tons
of books.
Mr.. Carver assumed the duties Of his
present position December 9Th, 1889, and
by bis efforts has wonderfully increased
the scope and efficiency of the library
He has made it distributing branch for the
sending out of State and other documents,
and has placed it in position to render valu-
able assistance to other libraries throughout
the State. In continuing Mr.. Carver n
the position whose duties he has so ably
Governor Cleaves has not only
accorded him merited recognition Tut hiss
given the State for another term librarian
who ha, proved himself conspicuously quail
| fed for the duties of the place.
