MAGAZINES IN OUR PUBLIC
LIBRARY.

LIBRARY.
Last spring request was made
that magazines that had been read
and layed aside to be given to the
Public Library rather than be con-
signed to the attic or some other
equally useless place.
That request was for scattering
numbers, as we'll as consecutive;
and for magazines Of light reading,
as well as those containing good
reference material. The response
was generous, but none have come
n recently. We should be glad to
have the public regard this as a
standing reguest-that the Library
will at all times be glad to receive
donati ons and will put them to the
best possible use.
Those thus far received have been
arranged systematically and are
now available. Poole's Index will
soon be added to the Library and
thus the contents OF tho magazines
made moro availble.
The life of the Review of Reviews
has been made complete from Vol.
S down. If any one can assist the
Library in securing Vol. ia it
would be splendid deed for the
Review of Reviews is an especially
good reference magazine in recent
history. The next most complete
file is Mcclure, then Munsey and
Atlantic. Help long these lines, in
deed with any good magazine or
good. books. Such help is most ex-
pensive to the donor, but. means
growth along an excellent line for
the Public Library.
