The Washington City Free Library will
be opened To the use OF the public in the

citiLeDs, who acted upon suggestions thrown

| tives to the effect that the citizens of Wash
| iDgton should first show -their~ interest IN
the subject by starting a library by the
| contribution OF money and books before APP
peaIing to Congress for aid.
| The library was inspected Saturday
| afternoon by many who have contributed
| either by subscription or donation previous
| to being thrown open 10 the general pubiiron
| Monday. The books received have been
classified catalogued and arranged fOrissUe
| by librarian experts, thus rendering the
administration of the library after il is
opened on Monday possible With the,
| minimum amount OF trouble and with the
| maximum degree Of rapidity IFi efficiency
large amount of the work has been done
by ladies Interested m the establishment OF
the library for the benefit OF the District
who have contributed their time and biliIies
while an experience of nine years combined
with study and practice renders the Ii
brarian, Miss Gilkey, especially competent
for the important duties that dey0lve upon
her. The hooks will be loaned for Il period
