Many visitors. and readers at the
well-equipped library at Fort Shafter
ask the question as to whether the
War Department is the source of its
many delightful and instructive vol.
umes. The answer to this question
adds to the interest of the collection
of books. The library was started
about 1901 by a small donation OF
books for the use of the enlisted men
of the 2nd Infantry. Then a system
was started by which monthly. yolun.
tary contributions were obtained from
;1cf M a
ment, and with the funds collected
new books were purchased and old
ones rebound until the collection has
reached its present large proportions.
The Library is the property of the End
Infantry regiment, but is free for the
use of all officers, enlisted men and
families on the Fort Shafter reserya-
ton, and its worth is appreciated by
all as is shown by the constant large
attendance. The War Department,
through the quartermaster Of Fort
Shafter, supplies the library with
many excellent magazines, to the num-
Der of subscriptions amounting to $50,
and these publications are of great
to the readers. Donations OF
books are always appreciated. and
are frequently made both by the Off
GERS and men of the regiment
