At the Public Library a great amount
of interest is being shown by younger
readers in the books on electricity and
mechanics-how to make things and do
things. various occupations. business
work and similar subjects. The library
has several hundred books on these top

room and others in the useful arts room
on the first floor. while in many cases
there are several copies of the book in
both places.
Several magazines are also received
regularly which are eagerly sought each
week and month. The back numbers OF
these are issued for home use. Popular

to articles on making electric apparatus.
