Louis which began in this way: AT
his death in 1909, Prof. George Wright,
convert, bequeathed 5000 volumes
; to Archbishop Glennon as a nucleus
of a Catholic Free Library. Like many
another collector of good books, Mr..
Wright had no large endowment of
money to add to his bequest, and thus
, insure the permanence of the new
library. But a librarian was found
who had enthusiasm and love for the
work, and under her care the library
has increased in the number of
volumes, and the circulation of the
books was last year considerably more
than 20,1OO; which means an average
of sixty-seven books a day put into
circulation. Three thousand five hun
dred persons hold membership cards
in the Catholic Free Library.
