MANY NEW BOOKS
ORDERED BY BOARD
Important Resolution Passed at
Last Nights Meeting
Children May Not Go Behind the
Counter Hereafter, as They
Disarrange the Books.
OTHER BUSINESS TRANSACTED.

The Carnegie library board met
last night and transacted much bust
ness, passing very important reso-
luton and ordering a new lot of
books for the library.
The board approved the list Of
books submitted by the book cont
mittee and ordered the stenographer
to make out six separate lists OF the
books which will be submitted to six
of the leading book dealers of the
United States for competitive bids.
About 600 volumes will be ordered
and the approximate cost will
amount to about $500.
The books will be bought immedi-
ately and Installed in the library
within the next month. The list in.
cludes many late books and works
OF various kinds which the public
has been demanding of late.
The board passed resolution pro-
hibiting children under 10 years of
age going behind the counter to Sc
lect books. Children misplace the
books, get them in the wrong places,
and cause the librarian much trouble
in Strengthening them out aftr they
leave. The resolution also provides
that not more than four persons can
go behind the counter and be at the
book shelves at once.
This resolution was passed because
1t is believed the applicants can Sc
cure what they want quicker II not
bothered by so many people standing
about searching for books and COM
menting on every book they happen
to pick up.
The board ordered many accounts
paid by Treasurer Charles Weille.
