was taken:
| In accepting the resign alton Of the libra

| of the Belfast Free Library desire to eX-
press their appreciation of her conscienti-
GUS, untlring labor in its behalf.
Beginning as she did before the library
was in existence and serving continuously
through the various changes in the board of
| trustees, she not only established high
| ideal of efficiency, but has continually
| kept the library on that plane.
| 1t is but common justice TO record our be-
| lief that to her more than to any other one
| person is due whatever success the library
| has attained.
The good wishes of all who have been
| connected with the library go with Miss
| Pond to her new position and we congratu-
late the library of Andover on securing the
services of one who IS ever striving for the
| best and highest ideals of library service.
