TOWN TOPICS FREE PUBLIC LIBR RARY.
BY o. 0. WRIGHT.

Do the people of Newtown want a free public library? have been asked
 to give some account of the work of
 the Sandy Hook library as bearing on
 this Queston.
 We needed books to read; and it was
 not convenient to go to NewtoWn to
 get them. There never were more
 than three or four families, east of the
 railroad, at any time wfto subscribed to
 the library in the Street. we began as book club, paying 25c each, per year, and buying the best works we could get, in paper covers. Then we
 put the books thus purchased, with others collected from the families in-
 terested, together, and started li-
 brary. Each family paid fifty cents
 per year, or gave bound book, and
 the money raised was invested ln more books. Funds were raised by means of candy sales, entertainments, and Prof Platt's musicales, and the interest grew. The magazine club donated it's maga- zines after they had been read by the members, and as new families became enlisted in the work more books and more money came in. Two years ago last June we made it free to the gener- al public and have depended upon the interest of the people to support it since that date. We have now about 800 volumes in cloth, 100 in paper cov- CTS, and large collection of the best magazines, of which 28 volumes are now in the hands of the binders. Everything has been given, the use of the room is free, the furniture is loaned, the shelves were donated, and practically 1t had been run without ex- pense. The one idea has been the mu- tual benefit of all. It is an example of cooperation to meet common want. About 200 persons in all have drawn books; about 15O, including children, are takers of books at this time, and the families interested represent the following named districts: Hanover, Walnut Tree Hill, Pootatuck, Sandy Hook, Zoar, Toddy Hill, Gray's Plain and the Middle. The circulation of books for the last three months was 700, not including the travelling libra ries, sent to us free of any expense, by the state library committee. The num- Der of families included in our list is about 100.
 We can, of course, go on in this same way, supplying ourselves with limit ed number of good books from year to year, and no. doubt the interest will continue to increaseand extend And after while we might be able to get an appropriation from the town and from the state and so become a per manent institution on this side of the railroad. But one free public library is enough for the whole town, provid- ing it shall be made available to all the people by means of delivery stations at the several centers of population, con- corning which will write later.
