The Meeker Public Libray

| There are some $50 volumes in the
Meeker Library, not including the
Harvard classics, which have just
been put in, and will give an in
exhaustable mine of pleasure to any
who love the cream of all classics.
Under the efficient management Of
Mrs. Pearce, who is a finished librar-
ian, there has been thorough re-
viewing and putting aside of every
volume not absolutely desirable.
The library work has been put on n
scientific hasis-the universal library
system-which has ment much ted
ious labor and patience on the part
of Mrs. Pearce and librarian.
We all want library for our
selves, for our neighbors, for the
good name of our town. Why not
get it now and be getting the good of
it? The library, when built, should
benefit the people; and therefore, 1t
should be built by all the people.
The library should belong to all of
us, and that is what the Woman's
Club want-to give all chance to
help. They want the permanent help
of both town and county to make it
belong to all. II this can be had, the
Woman Club will have an excellent
opportunity to build up very fine
library.
Neither Boston nor New York can
provide better books to its readers
than the humbIest town library can
easily own and supply. The main
purpose of the library is to counter
act and check the circulation and In
fuence Of empty vicious books that
are no rife; to do away with the
"penny dreadfuls' and other trash
that boys and girls get because there
Is no other to be had.
It Is the aim of the library com
mittee this year to send boxes Of
books to rural districts. A number
have been spoken for, including
Yellow creek, Coal creek school.
Mesa school and Marvine. These
books are being used ny the teachers
to help them have better schools.
The care of these books is insured; ;
when returned, more will be sent.
So public library includes potenti-
ally all other means of social better
ment having within itself capacity
of Infinite growth and reproduction.
SO let US get the help of all to make
Meeker library as good as can be
had.
The names of the new books Of
fiction will be published; a large nu-
nber having just been received.
AT present, the library will be
opened every day but Saturday from
1 p. IN. to 9p. M, Saturday, p. m.
to 8p. M.
