The New Library.

Mr.. Lambert Packard, architect, of
st. Johnsbury was in town Saturday,
in consultation with the Trustees of
the library; they having accepted his
plans for the new building. There
were sixteen plans submitted, and it is
much to Mr.. Packard's credit that his
was selected as the most suitable for
the location. After consultation it was
decided to make some slight alterations
N the original plan. The new building
will be 66x33, with IA inch brick walls
with two inch space, and is in the Ro-
manesque style of architecture.
1t is to be so situated that the reading
room, which is dodecagon in form and
q feet in diameter, will face the hotel.
The main entrance on Main street. opens
into large hall in which is the deliv-
cry window for books. The stack or
book room is on the east side, 15x36
feet, and is Is feet high, which allows
for a gallery when the needs of the IL
brary shall require it. There is large
window opening into the reading room
from the book room. The librarians
room is on the southwest corner, 9x12
feet, with toilet rooms connected.
The reading room is to be arranged
for reading table at each of the eight
windows, and round periodical table
in the centre; large fireplace is also
arranged for. There is large octago-
nal tower in front in which are stairs
leading to the curio room, oyer the
main entrance. There will be an en-
trance on the south side also. The es-
timated cost of the proposed building
is $4,000. By the terms if Mr.. Woods
will $4,000 can be used for the build
ing, the balance of $4,000 to be kept as
an endowment fund for the mainte.
nance of the same. Work will begin
as soon as the season opens, and when
completed it will be lasting testimo-
