Gifts to the Library.
Some time ago the town library re-
ceived a gift of three volumes of Great
Short Stories" series. from Arthur Liv-
ermore, which have been extensively
read and greatly appreciated by the pa
irons of the library. The library has
received more recent gifts as follows:
Six volumes of Victor Hugo from Col
w. II. Miles; THE Quest of Happiness
by Rev. Dwight Hills, from Miss Ellen
Ware; The Man of the Hour was pre-
scented by the Athens library. THE Ii
brary has need of picture books and
other books for children, also books of
reference.
No doubt a little thoughtfulness on
the part of people who have many books
would enable them to do much good in
the line of supplying reading matter for
those less fortunate than themselves. Why
not put books in the public library after
they have been read? You will never
have time TO read them again for your
books and magazines crowd you faster
than you can read them. Look over
YOUR library and if there is not
something worth reading that you
can afford to pass along, and please re-
to make it available for the largest
number is in the public library.
