A meeting of the trustees of the
library was held yesterday afternoon
at which it was decided not to place
the order for books agreed upon some
time ago until the latter part of next
week. This decision was reached af-
ter consultation with the librarian, as
are still in the possession of sub
scribers and it is deemed essential
that they be returned before forward
ing the order, SO as to avoid duplica-
ton. An urgent appeal is made to
all holders of old books to return
them at once to the end that further
delay in transmitting the order for
new books may not be necessary. For
the same reason those intending to
donate books are requested to notify
the librarian as early as possible.
