Another decided improvement to
the library is the having it open
every day except Sunday. From now
on the library will be open to take
out and return books, on Mondays,
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays
| from 1870 a. m. to 11.30 p. m. On
Wednesday and Saturdays, from p.
IN. to 6 p. m. This change has been
| greatly appreciated by the members
of the club, who can now get a book
or return one any day of the week.

children of summer residents could
obtain books free. We wish to re-
tract that statement, because it was
an error. Summer children may OBJ
tain books by paying the regular
charges of five cents book and two
cents a day when overdue.
