Precautionary Measures.

Attention is also called to the preventive
measures in constant operation at the
library to guard against the spread of
conta gious diseases by library books. For
more than three years the health depart
ment, at the request of the librarian. has
been sending daily reports of all new
cases % contagious diseases. If there is
any one living at the address of d person
having a contag gious disease who is reg
istered as having library privileges word
is at once sent forbidding the return of
books until the health inspectors certify
that they have been properly disinfected.
The librarian has also authorized the
health department to destroy any library
books found in infected houses whenever
ii seems wise to take such action in the
interest of the public health.
From the foregoing record i. may with
justice be claimed that the public library
building is probably at the present time
the freeSt from disease germs of any pub
lie building in the city, and also that the
measures regularly in operation at the
library are such as to reduce 10 the mini
mum the chance of contasion through
library books
The Public Library is being besieged by
letters and telephone inquiries as to the
payment of fines books falling due
since the library was closed. In response
to these inquiries il il stated that no
fines whatever Will be collected on books
now in circulation until after February 1.
Persons who return their library books
next week will not be required to pay
fines.
