Butler Public Library.

The ladies of the Butler Public Lii
brary Association held meeting Sep
tember 2 when a financial report of
the institution was read and considered.
They found the running expenses of
the library to be greater than the ladies
can any longer assume without outside
aid and consulted upon means of in
creasing the funds to the amount req
uisite to meet these expenses.
The library was opened with the hope
that the books would be always free TO
the public and they have been thus
furnished for five years. But the asso-
citation now find that they will have to
charge a sum of 30 cents for each an
nual card taken out on or after OctO,
Der /, 1898.
The public have very kindly and gen
erously patlonized the suppers and
other entertainments given by the Ii
braTy Association, and by this means
the ladies have received considerable
amount of aid, as well as from the gen
erOns contributions of some of the gen
tlemen. But as the expenses Of the Ii
brary, irrespective of the purchase Of
new books, repairs and catalogues, are
large and continuous, embracing rent,
light, heat. insurance and librarians
salary. aggregating $50 per month, it is
found necessary 70 make some change
The Womans Exchange was opened
in the hope that it would contribute to-
wards library expenses, but 1t has not
been a success in that way. So, much
against Their viii, the ladies are obliged
to resort to the small fee above named
as a means of keeping the library open.
But they feel that the reading public
will 3e glad to assist them in the good
work
The membership of the Library Asso-
citation at present consists of 81 ladies.
Each member pays annual dues of 50,
and contributes book once a year.
Any lady interested in the library, who
would like TO become member will be
welcomed bv the ASSOCIATION.
To make the library in greater degree
a credit TO the town, and to increase its
usefulness, contributions, large or
small, handed in by any Of cur public
spirited citizens Will be thankfully re-
ceiyed by the librarian any afternoon.
All are invited to come to the library
and look over the books; especially are
editors, ministers, teachers and mem
bers Of the school board invited to note
the quality and character Of the library.
IL Will be found that, although numer
Gus works of fiction are taken out and
read the shelves contain also a large
proportion of high-class books in the
departments of history poetry and
general literature. Our motto Is, The
noblest motive is the public good.
