LIBRARY WILL ADOPT
CLOSED SHELF SYSTEM.

The plans of the Carnegie library
have been adopted to include the
closed shelf system in the handling
of books. unless the officers of the
association find the opposition too
strong to resist. The interior of the
stack room and librarians department
are being finished with that plan in
mind. The closed shelf system has
with much opposition in many of
the cities of the land, having been
adopted by the arbitrary ruling Of the
public librarian at Denver and changed
after a determined fight by the news
papers and others. The system will
entail expense in the preparation of
a catalogue much larger, some con
tend, than the loss from theft of books
