by the library board for the formal
opening of the new Carnegie building.
The hours for the reception will be be
tween , and 10 p. IN. and cordial in
Vitation is extended everybody in the
city to inspect the building and enjoy
the triumph which the board has ac-.
complished as Il result of the muni-
ficence Of Andrew Carnegie and the
liberality of the citizens. 1t has been
thought that Saturday would be the
most desirable day of the week for
the opening from the fact that the
school children would have better
opportunity to see the building and
Saturday evening is favorite time
for the men in the shops to come
down and enjoy leisure hours with
Sunday in prospect. But il was impos-
sibIe to entirely complete the build
ing. and the board has determined
that when it is thrown open to the
public its work will be done. and the
building will stand as il is to be used.
So the latter date and the middle of
the week were selected for the open
ing. There will he no set program.
The building will be decorated and an
orchestra will be secured to provide
music. Invitations will be eN-
tended the library boards of Rock
Island and Davenport. and these will
constitute all the specially invited
guests. The board also voted to lay
linoleum in the stack room. and the
contract calls for the completion of
this work this week. The fixtures will
be installed in the third story.
