Durham has a right to be proud of
her Public library; most any city in
the State possessing such IN institution
would feel glowing pride in pointing
out Our Public Library. Durham
never does things by halves, when she
takes up a proposition she carries it out
TO the very letter. The Library sub
iect originated from a meeting Of citl-
zens who discussed the ACCESSIBILITY lle-
cessity. etc, for the erection of such an
Institution. A desirable lot. donated by
Miss L.ala Carr, for the location of the
Library and 5000 in cash was sub
scribed by the citizens. An addition OF
twelve or thirteen feet adjoining the
original lot was donated by Mrs.
Thomas H. Martin. There was
building upon the ground ami this was
rpmodelled and so arranged as to meet
the requirements of a handsome up-to-
date Library In seven m0nthS after
the contract had been placed IN the coli
