have an idea that its needs are very
well cared for, but Miss Annie l..
Barr, the librarian, at the Saturday
meeting of Mary Dillingham; Chap
ter. d. A. R., the godmother of the
library, told her hearers that as a
result of the QUESTIONABLE sent out
from the American Library AS
ISOLATION last year, Lewiston is
| reckoned among the 10 lowest IL
braries in the country in amount of
financial support. MANY people
think that the city provides so
generously that additional funds are
| not needed" said Miss Barr, "but If
| it were known how we have to
struggle to make our income cover
! the expenses it could be seen that
| better results could be obtained from
| larger yearly resources. Why, Is it,"
| she asked, that this library has
never once been mentioned in the
! will of any benefactor. Why do
people forget the hbrary?"
