-Honesdale is making an earnest
and enthusiastic effort to provide
the people of that pretty little town
with a public library. For some
months the library has been furnish
ing instruction and pleasure to over
five hundred patrons. The plan be-
ing followed is the soliciting of the
entire town, every home, every busi-
ness place, every man, woman and
child, to give something. To date
this has met with marked success.
The committee has not only been en-
couraged, but it has been kindly re-
ceived and heartily welcomed almost
everywhere. But it is necessary to
keep the library up to a certain
standard and to improve it from
time to time and in this work the
leaders of the movement are asking
the Honesdale public to cooperate in
every reasonable way.-Scranton
