 T suppose 1t Is the purpose of the Montgomery Library Association to serve as many readers as possible from the Carnegie library" said public spirited citizen yesterday. Why for holding open the library for little longer time nights?
 The library has a superb reading room and fairly good supply of periodicals besides 2 large number of classical works. The masses of the city. In my opinion. do not get a chance to read much in the time the library is kept open. At about supper time every night the Library Is closed and that Is the time 1t seems to me. that the working people-and there are many hard readers in the working c1asses--wish to read. They have no opportunity In the day hours.
 ."There is not a more comforta6le place to rest while reading than the reading room of the Carnegie library on Perry Street and have heard many a citizen express the desire to spend an hour or so at night there. The read ing room Is splendidly ventilated and all arrangements are comfortable. It looks to me like the city ought to make just enough appropriation to get this extra librarian to extend the hours, There are more people who would feel grateful for it than you would believe on first thought. There are compara- lively few readers who drop in the reading room while there Is an uncom- monly large circulation of books that are taken out.
 Longer hours after dusk would ! satisfy the hunger of sufficient work ing reading to warrant the extra libar- rian." H.'
