A STEP FORWARD The trustees of the
Belfast Free Library have decided to omen
the Reading Room Sunday afternoons from
until 5 O'Clock, beginning November 3d.
This advance step is in accord with a grow
ing custom among all libraries whose re-
sources are as large as our own There are
ten thousand books on the shelves of our
Free Library, and it is hoped few of them
will be used for the pleasure and profit of
many people; grown people, not children,
who are too busy during the week to read.
No books will be given out Sunday to be
taken home. Another sign of progress is
the decision to give to all residents of Wal
do County the same privilege of drawing
books which Belfast people enjoy. The fee
will be two dollars, to be paid annually.
This is comparatively small sum. It has
been the custom at the Bangor Public III.
brary to charge nOn-residents six dollars
year for a library card.
