Report of Mexico Public Library:
During the two and one half months

partment is in greatest need Of ad-
ditions, there being only one hun
dred and ninty-three volumes to its
credit. Books for the young people
will be gladly accepted by the Libra
ry Board. Twelve hundred and eigh-
ty-one books have been called for
since the opening day, five hundred
and forty-one by juveniles and seven
hundred and forty by adults. The
librarian has collected in fines, gifts
and penny-a-day books $10.21. OF
this $50 has been expended for

balance of 1852. The treasurer of
the Federation, Mrs. ]. T. Johnson
