Citizens Of McconneIlsburg and Vicinity
Have Access to Good Literature.
AS an initial step IN securing
for McConnellsburg and the peo.
pie of the surrounding communi.
ty the privileges of a free library,
a free circulating or travelling Ii.
brary, consisting of one hundred
volumes, has been secured.
These books consist of fiftv vol
umes of fiction, and fifty volumes
representing other classes; as
history, biography, travel, science
etc. Among these are included
a fair proportion of books for the
younger readers. These books
are the best that can be secured.
There Is no effort made to pro.
vide the latest book, unless 1t is
thought to be worth buying; but
the effort is made to keep the lit.
erature up to date in the best
sense.
In selecting books for the Ii.
brary, the Librarian will be glad
to receive suggestions from bor-
rowers as to books which they
would like to haze included.
There is no promise to include all
such books-because that might
be impossible; but the Librarian
will do his best to give the people
what they ask for. These books
are for the free use OF all respon-
sible residents of the community
and will be loaned without charge.
There is need on the part of study
clubs and reading circles for lit
erature covering the subjects
which they are studying. The
Librarian will do what he can to
meet this need. Study clubs are
invited to send their programs to
the Librarian, and reference Ii
braries will be secured to cover
the subjects. The effort will be
made to put IN all the books need
ed for the proper study of the
subjects, hence the lumber will
vary with the subjects under con
slderation.
Books will be provided for use
IN connection with school work
when desired. Such collections
will be made up of books which
are suited to the grade of schol-
ars tor whom they are intended
and will help to arouse interest in
the school work, as we'll as lead
the children to an appreciation of
the better class of literature.
1t is the intention of this work
to provide for the children and
young people who have little op
portunity to see good literature
There are many people through
the county teachers, preachers,
and others-who are perhaps in.
terested IN some particular line
OF study, but are so situated that
they cannot secure the books
needed for the proper study of
such subjects. The Librarian
will endeavor to give what assist.
ance he can to such individual stu
dents by securing them the books
they need.
The library has been secured
through the efforts of Leslie w.
Seylar, who has been appointed
librarian, and will be located at
his drug store in this place.
Books may be kept for period
of ten days, and If kept longer,
two cents day will be charged.
