 It has been suggested that Fair Ha
 ven might have branch of the New Haven free public library and the To- cation spoken is one of the rooms in tn
 basement of the Strong school. Sub libraries are located n many large citie.
 and prove very convenient to the peo
 pie of residential districts. A few hun dred volues of standard books are kep on the shelves and when other volumes
 are called for they are sent over iron
 the main library, so that applicants cal
 have them the day following. A Ii , brary located in the Strong schoo would prove very convenient for Tai Haven library patrons. A reading room in connection with the sub-librar. is also suggested. It is said that tn room in the school building could b.
 had. If the public manifest sufficien
 interest in the project it will doubles
 be successful.
