WATERvILLE | BRANCH LIBRARY WILL OPEN TODAY
Public Invited to Attend G. 0. P. Primaries
 Tonight

The Waterville public is cordially invited to attend the formal open. ing, this afternoon and evening of the new location of the local branch of the Bronson library. in the annex of the Waterville fire station on Thomaston avenue.
 For many years the library was located on the second floor of the Carney building at the corner ot Chapel street and Thomaston ave. nue, where the front rooms were occupied. This was a central To- cation and perfectly agreeable to most of those who used the branch library facilities.
 More than a year ago, Fredericl; 5. Chase suggested to the board of agents of the Bronson library and to the mayor that the annex to the fire station which had been planned and equipped as a police precinct, be appropriated for the services of the branch library, thus permitting the facilities to be housed in city owned building and eliminating the necessity ot paying rent.
 
 sibility of the use of the anne> Tor the police precinct purposes was so remote as to be many years away and that the building should be put to some useful purpose.
 Before acting upon the sugges- tlon the board of agents sounded the sentiment of those using the library facilities, and, finding it favorable. petitioned the board of police commissioners who granted permission.
 The work of adapting the build Ing to library needs was started last winter. It involved the re- moNal of cells and partitions and the installation of a new stairway to the second floor. When the re- modelling and redecoration was completed there were two excel lent, well-lighted and well-ven- tllated rooms well adapted to branch library purposes.
 on the first floor will be the room for adults, a fact which will be greatly appreciated by some who found difficulty in climbing the stairway in the former loca tion. The second floor is set aside Tor children who will be furnished With improved service.
 There is shelf room for about two thousand volumes.
 The exterior appearance of the building has been improved by the laying of a new concrete walk. The grading of the grounds, and the entrance porch has been re- paired. An attractive sign has been erected near the street stat ing that the library will be open on three days a week. Tuesdays. thursdays and Saturdays. from 3:3O to 6:00 D. m. and from zoo to 9:00 D. m.
