TOWN TOPICS THE SANDY HOOK LIBRARY. SALE A NOTABLE SUCCESS.
800 4SOO

The sale, last week. was held under unfavorable conditions of weather; but not without success. The pro eeeds hu;se thns far and are a6aqt was pleasant, and encouraging, as an | expression of the popular interest in | the library work. It is free public library in every sense. The DOCKS have been given, for the sake of the | common cause, or have been purchased | by the offerings and labors of the peo- pie. The building is provided free of | expense for the public use We pay l no rent, no salaries, and have no our rent expenses except for fuel, light, and in cold weather the building of a | fire once week.
 l The catalogue was made by the l State Library Committee, and we | simply pay for the printing. For the l 500 copies we have paid the bill of $58 arranged in alphabetical order, marks an important stage in our progress.
 We also have two card-catalogues; one by authors, and the other by titles or books. For the first time our collec- tion is practically available for ready ; use, without hunting through the shelves. pt We hope now that the takers of
 books will be glad to use the catalogue,
 and by so doing save the wear and tear OI VQC VOluu0S WulCd UIcy uO HUI hOOo
 to handle. If you wish to know
 whether a certain work is in our col lection, look for it in the card-cat-
 alogues, either by title or by the name
 of the author; or if you wish to ex-
 anime book in the printed list, look
 for it on the shelves, in the alphabet 6 ical order of names of authors under F, class letter. For example: B, stands 5 for Biography, and Bar, the first three D letters of the authors name, vii fa 1,a mt fn6 is
 Fiction, and Bar. will lead you te Barrie's works. J, is for juvenile; II | for History, etc., and the classes art Il indicated by cases.
 l. It will be convenient and comforta .4 ble, and saving in all respecbs for th' 't people to own and use the printed list which will probably be needed for man,
 years to come. Every family shouls
 have one; and as every new patrol @ will need one it is easy to see that th
 500 copies will serve for that list o
 books, for long time. When we hay
 another thousand volumes, then an
 other catalogue should be printed
 and when the collection has grown t
 of different system of cataloguing.
 The young people are interested il
 furnishing the library room with suit - able table and chairs. I wish tha
 they might receive help from thos
 who are able, to accomplish their pun
 pose. It is singular fact that a larg
 proportion of the books and the none ln to pay for what we have, came withou as the asking, from persons who do nc lo reside permanently in this town; an
 they are the ones who have shown tn
 finest appreciation of the work tha
 has been done to secure the prtvileg = which we now enjoy.
 Is 1t not high time that some of ou
 wealthy people in this town shoul c begin to learn by actual experienG o the happiness of promoting the soci;
 welfare of all the people together
