BOOKS TO
READERS BY
MESSENGER
Institute Library viii Have
Volumes Delivered at Cost
Of Five Cents
CALL BY PHONE AND
BOY WILL RESPOND

Following its principle Of making
It's books as accessible as possible TO
the people of Wilr1 ngton, the Free
Library has inaugurated a new plan
which it hopes will ap. cal to many
persons who are unable to leave their
homes. or to climb the long flight of
stairs in order to borrow books.
Under this plan the library pro-
poses to deliver books by messenger
to those who call for them on the
telephone, the cost OF delivery to be
met by the borrower. Other cities
have considered this plan, but the
cost has always proved so excessive
that /; has been used but little. In
this city, however, the library has gu
tered into an arrangement with the
Western Union Telegraph Company
to deliver all books called for at an
expense of only cents volume. THIS
is, of course, only a nominal charge
for what ought to be a great convent
cpce to many who are unable to visit
the library.
In order that II persons may be
treated alike, the following rules have
been adopted
~ 'f-@ " VIM f-'Q III NaAA ftiuAhS
delivered, except in cases where two
volumes be,ong 20 the same work
One volume COR work. for each vol
ume delivered, may be returned TO the
library when books are delivered.
without extra charge.
Readers should give several titles
when calling for books, 50 that they may
not be disappointed in case one or more
are not in the library.
If no books called fer are in. notice
to that effect will be sent to reach the
applicant in the afternoon mail, pro-
vided the request is received before noon.
One work of fiction will be sent when
another one is already charged, provided
the one already in the hands of the bor-
rover is returned by the messenger.
Only one delivery a day will be
made. Applications for books should
be in the hands OF library assistants
not later than noon to allow time
for looking books up.
This plan is an experiment only.
II the people Of Wilmington do not
patronize It, il will be dropped.
