 It was the Wednesday Study Club which, several years ago, started the movement in Anniston for 8 public library, and since it's establishment have used every effort to further the useful ness of this valuable institution.
 During the coming week an effort will be made to secure the funds for adding some improvements to the library build ing. and to secure a fund to provide the great number of books which the in creased patronage during the past year from all over the county makes neces- sary.
 It has been said that if public libraries were half as costly as public dinners. or books cost the tenth part of what brace lets do, even foolish men and women might sometimes suspect there was good in reading as well as in munching and sparkling.
 A great amount of serious reading Is being done by many members of the library. the reference books are constant ly used by high school students for sup elementary work, the clubwomen use the l1DrarVa TOT RESISTANCE on all pTOSTdf1Hles, children are reading the best juvenile books and classics and the novels bring reeded diversion to hundreds every week.
 The record of the library during the two years of it's existence has Justified its usefulness to Anniston and Calhoun county, and the committees which under take to enlarge the scope of it's service will no doubt meet with cordial re- \ sponse.to their requests.
