PUBLIC LIBRARY NOW
NOW IN NEW CITY HALL

The public library is now located
in the coy quarters provided for it
in the new city hall. The library
will be open on Saturdays, as usual.
from $40 until o'clock p. m.
There is now room for two or
three times the number OF volumes
in the library and some concerted
action should be taken by our citi-
zens toward raising funds with which
to purchase more new books. That
the library Is appreciated by both
old and young is evidenced by the
large number Of hooks that are given
out each Saturday afternoon.
OF the 1000 or more volumes in
the library, a large number are en-
cyclopedias, histories and other books
that are seldom read. This cuts the
number OF desirable books down to
about 500, and those especially suit
able for young people are limited.
At least $500 could be used to a
good advantage in buying new books,
and that much money could not be
used for better cause.
