Newark Agitating the Erection Of q
Town HalI---Other Items.
EwARK, Jan. Is.
The ladies of the new Century Club,
with desire for the general improve
ment OF this town, have determined to
take hold of what remains of the town
library, and if possible, imbuc i: with
new life, that the people may not l,esi-
tate to speak with some pride of H.
brary equal to, if not superior to that
possessed by other towns. The people
Of Newark are proud of its educational
institutions. They can boast of advan-
tages not possessed by other towns The
town is known as the Athens of Dels-
ware, yet in these days of advancement
the people must blush to deny the DOS
session Of library where the people can
feel free to make themselves familiar
with the popular periodicals, or take
books 70 their own homes. At present
the school children are without advsu-
tages OF this nature and that they, and
others. may have these advantages, il 10
the desire Of the ladies' to eventually
make this free library. Whether or
not this can be done rests entirely with
the people. While the New Century Club
is willing to assume the care of the H.
brary, the support and cooperation Of
the people is necessary to make it a Sue
cess. A free library necessarily means .
financial basis, more labor, and q much
larger number of books than the town
now owns. As one means Of increasing
the number it is proposed to hold q book
reception in the near future, time and
place tn be published Every resident
of the town interested in such an enter
prise will be asked to attend this recep-
ton; the ticket OF admission being =
book, if preferred, donation in money.
Through the kindness and liberality of
Mr.. Wilbur 7. Wilson this proposed H.
brary will be located in the room i'm
mediately above his store.
