that economic stage where she should

4 cnILDKEN.s LIBRARY.

The need of n library intended espe-
cially for children has been long dis
cussed In Richmond and generally con-
|ceded. Tile foundation OF all discussion
in this direction lay In the belief that
the children of this city should have
some convenient and attractive place
to spend their leisure hours, away
from the streets and in surroundings
which would tend to their own better
ment. Such surroundings arc we'll sup
piled for the elders in the State Library.
but the necessary fornality OF the
State institution and its very large
ness doubtless prevent it from afford
ing. in all ways the particular well
como 10 children which 1t is felt that
they need. Besides, a special collec-
ton of juvenile books has always been
a main objective. and this could hardly
be expected outside OF a special juve-
nile library.
Such n library, happily, at last seems
to be an accomplished fact Through
the efforts of Mrs. Alice NJ. Tyler, long
identified with the children of Rich
mond in connection with her work on
this paper, club and library-rooms for
the children of Richmond arc now prom
iscd on and after January Goth next.
Tifc rooms will be attractively fur
rishe1 with ample reading and writ
| ing facilities, and will contain n IL
brary of well-selectcd children's books,
necessarily small at first, but destined,
1T is hoped, to be steadily increased by
contributions. 1t is proposed to have
| the library open three afternoons n
week. In charge of librarian, and to
give the children the readcst sort of
access to the books and other facili-
ties. The rooms will probably be in
The Times-Dispatcl building, but a
definite statement about this Is to be
made later on. Membership in the club
and the privileges of the library will
be entirely free,
| 1t is to be hoped that the juvenile
institution thus started will prosper
largely and increase. The children's
\ library appears to have broad field
to work in. and. properly supported,
should rise to a place of large useful
ness in the community.
