STRONG PLEA4N BEHALF
o. ,THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY.

Editor, Democrat.
Dear Sir: It was with surprise. that
/ read in your current issue that the
town commissioners were thinking of
closing, or curtailing the facilities zDf
the Carnegie library. They can
scarcely realize what a very valuable
asset it is to the town. If they did,
they would be anxious rather to ex-
tend, than curtailzfts scope.
From an educational standpoint I
believe that a library is indispensable
to every town, for the library should
supplement the work of the schools.
A student who can not have access to
a good library, Is apt to become. a
narrow-minded and intolerant citizen.
The Carnegie library seems to have
done excellent work in its. short exist
ance both for the SUMMED visitors, as
well as for its regular devotees. |
can vouch for the very great assist
ance n can obtain from both its
reference department and its lending
department.
think it would be a sad reflection
on the town of Hendersonville to let
such a valuable institution lapse.
Yours truly,
M. COFFEY.
