CITY uBR AIRY SHOWS :. !.
SUBSTANTIAL GROWTH
Excellent Record Made During Libra
RVS First Year.-l235 Books ..
Loaned

Through the enthusiasm and splendid
work Of the Mothers Club City Lii
brary was started a year ago. From
that time the library has served good
purpose and filled a real need, and as
it grows, it's usefulness will increase. -
On the shelves are found carefully,
selected list Of books, both fiction and
non-fction. In addition, it has set Of
new International Cyclopedia and other
reference books. The total number of
volumes is 1854, very good beginning
when considering the quality of the
books and the prevailing prices of
books. During the year, 1885 books
have been circulated among 120 people.
OF these 12O people, ten live in the
country. Hence the library assumes
to some. extent the character of a com
munity enterprise.
-. The library is in the immediate con-
troll Of library Misunderstanding of
nine members, appointed by the mayor
of the city. Mrs. A. L. Robinson is
president Of the Board, and Mrs w. O.
Braggans, secretary.
All funds so far have been obtained
from free contributions by business
men and citizens of Warren, and have
been used exclusively for the purchase
Of books. To serve larger number of
patrons, the library needs more funds
with which to purchase books. An en-
deavor will be made by the Mothers
Club to raise some money to meet this
pressing need.
If you have not already visited the
library room at the High School do so
in the near future You will find it a
very interesting place.
