The Library Committee have I'M
dertaken to laise the money to be ex-
pended Tor the magazines in the read
ing room. This year, instead of So
Letting for the money, they have en-
gagged the Mozart Quartet of Boston
to give a concert here a little later.
This quartet has been heard by some
of the people in town and they speak
of it very highly. The Library has
been very short of funds for new
books this year, owing to mistake in
the finances by which they expended
last year about $500 of this years
funds, and have now to make up this
deficit. The Lyndon Union Club have
just given the Library $40 to use in
the purchase of new children's books.
1t is probable that many people do
not realize how important a part in
the Library is taken by the reading
| room, with it's long list of current
magazines and papers, especially In
these days, when every one is follow
ing the stirring events across the
sea. Our school children as well as
adults, make great use of the maya.
zines and the magazine circulation is
very large. 1t was a great source OF
qualification to Miss Hills, at Proc
tor, and should be to us all. to fine
that our list of reading room periodi-
calls includes nearly all which are
called the best and most representa-.
tive in the country and that we have
none of the cheap and sensational
kind.
