That renewed interest is being
kindled in the Carnegia library is
evidenced by the informal report
given bv Mrs. W. C. Merritt, librari-
an, recently.
It is shown by the report that cir
culation is increasing, especially IN
the magazine department. A num-
Der of standard publication have been
added to the reading room tables
druing the past year by civic clubs
and individual donations. Already
S135 worth of magazines are being
received by the library each month.
besides others which are given to the
reading rooms after having been fin
ished at home. In this connection,
it is noteworthy that numbers of
school children come each day to the
library to consult magazines for as
sistance in their school work.
Suggestion to Families.

speaking for the school children, that
those families in the community who
subscribe for magazines, give them
to the library after having been
read in the home. In this way more
and diversified reference can be
furnished students.
Recently Miss Laura Templeton,
state librarian, visited the Americus
library, and expressed her keen de.
light at the number of children con-
sulting library magazines. She was
glad to find that magazines are bound
here and filed away for reference at
any time. She also expressed her
approval of the circulating magazine
library, which furnishes references
for rural and consolidated schools.
Magazines in Carnegie library
here furnish two-fold purpose, ac-
cording to Mrs. Merritt. Not only
dc they afford food for the students

mates of the Jail and stockade. 9th
