SMYRNA LIBRARY NEWS
Children's Service to be Discontin
ued for Present Time

The Smyrna Library Commits
sion, which recently made a special
effort to provide new books for
children between the ages of 8-12
years, found the idea so well re-
ceived and the response of young
readers so great, that the tempor-
ary quarters for dispensing the
books proved too limited. 1t has
been decided, therefore, that due
to lack of space, this service to the
children will have to be discontin-
ued until the library moves back
into its own quarters in the Town
Hall. The commission acknow-
ledges with thanks the gifts of
books from many Smyrna resi-
dents, in the drive to provide suf-
ficient books for the readers to ex-
change, during the period of short
age after the fire.
