SOUTH AMBOY'S LIBRARY
IN EXCELLENT CONDITION

IBy Evening News Correspondence
SOUTH AMBOY, June 3.-One or
the city's most prosperous institu-
tions at the present time is the
South Amboy Free Public Library.
This institution started some years
ago by the South Amboy's Woman's
Club and later taken over by the
city is now organized on a firm
foundation. The growth the last few
years has been somewhat spectacu-
lar. With the limited funds at its
command a great service is render
ed.
There are twenty-three hundred
and fourteen members on the rolls
of the library and the average cir
culation is something over twelve
hundred volumes a month. There
are 3.5SS volumes owned by the
local association-that includes
books of fiction, reference books
books on science and several of the
trades. etc. One of the features af-
forded is the great selection of chill
dren's books.
In addition to the books owned by
the local association there are a
number of books loaned by the Pub
lie Library Commission of Trent
ton. Through this source it is pos
sible for the librarian, Mrs. Bost-
wick. to secure practically any book
that is published.
The rooms of the association are
in the Trust Company Building. AT
the present time they are very
cramped for and in event of
further growth the rooms will be
entirely too small. The book shelves
at the present time are crowded,
there is no reading room OF any
size to accommodate the public.
A splendid collection of books on
pedagogy is one of the library's as
sets. Through this means the local
teachers are able to keep in touch
with the more advanced methods of
instructions and the schools of the
city are thus benefited. This collec-
ton was selected by Prof. O. o.
Barr, city superintendent of schools
who is also secretary of the library
board.
