OPENS TODAY
IN A TEMPORARY HOME

Miss Grace Stoddard, librarian Of
the Missoula public library, nnoun
ced that the library will open this
afternoon at l o'clock in the Union
block on East Main street. The
task of moving so many books was
one to be dreaded",. said Miss Stod-
dard yesterday, but it went bette4
than l dared to hope. Our books
are all placed and after a fashion
accessible. II greatest regret is
that there is no place for a reading
room. The few tables that we can
find room for must be given over to
reference workers and for three
months all general reading will have
to done elsewhere. The only consol-
alton is the promise of a commodi-
Il and pleasant reading room in the
Carnegie library remodeled.'
