WoMAN'S CLUB AND
A PUBLIC LIBRARY

The Woman's club held its regular
last evening.
The chairman of the public library
committee reported that the Ladies'
Library association OF Durango has
offered to donate the city its entire
library. consisting of Two thousand
volumes and valued ut from $4,000 to
So ,000 so soon as the city will pro-
vide reading room and librarian for
same.
All felt that something must be
done to enable the people of Durango
to take advantage of this most gen
erous offer.
1t was further reported that a num-
ber of citizens of Durango have pledg-
ed themselves to donate suitable
building site for public library so
soon as money can be raised to erect
such building.
Instances were cited of cities no
larger than Durango having secured
$4,000 to $3.50 from the Carnegie
library building fund, notable exam
pie being Canon City, Colo.
Hopes were expressed that Duran
go might secure a like amount if the
people could convince Mr.. Carengie of
their ability to support such library
by starting it themselves.
a committee was appointed to in
| terview the prospective city council
men and to secure, if possible, their
| pledges To provide funds sufficient to
rent rooms for library purposes, and
to employ librarian for same.
Some very interesting papers were
then read. one by Mrs. Downs on
Chopin being particularly enjoyed.
