Art and the
Public Library.
1T is not generally understood that
the Public Library not only spon-
sors exhibitions in its main building
and branches but also lends reproduce
tions of works of art on readers
! cards in the same manner as books.
These reproductions are in many in
stances in color. In some instances
they have been cut from periodicals
and mounted. but not infrequently
they have been bought outright from
publishers. When there is a special de-
mand as during the past season for
works by Van Gogh-occasioned by,
I the exhibition of this painters works
circulated by the Museum Of Modern
Art and much publicized and the pub
lication of his biography under the
title Lust for Living"-the latter
course has been followed. A selection
of these circulating prints in color Is
now to be seen at the Mount Pleasant
Branch Library, selected and arranged
by Miss Elizabeth Ray Lewis, head OF
the Art Department of the Public
Library. Included are prints of paint
ings by Winslow Homer. whose CEN
tenary was celebrated this year-as
well as by other artists Of prominence.
The library lending collection Of such
prints is now in excess of 10000.
In the reading rooms of the George
town Branch of the Public Library the

Just hung an attractive exhibition Of
members works which will continue
