 In addition to the above, the Navy Officers Wives Club have d3- mated one hundred dollars for the purchase. of children's books and the B. P. W. donated twenty dol lars for children's books as well as preparing and serving the re- treatments for Open House.
 Aside from occasional welcome gifts of this nature, new books are purchased from monies received from the sale of library cards and from fines. Every citizen of Ko- diak can afford to have, and should have, library card, the cost of which is one dollar per year, and they are encouraged to use the library for study and re- search or just for reading for pleasure. There is an excellent line of new fiction and better de tective stories in abundance.
 We should again mention the very magnanimous action of the Rotary Club. in purchasing an ex- penSive piece of property in the heart of the City for a modern F. bfary building in the future when funds can be obtained for this pur- pose.
 However, in the meantime, all should attend the Open House and see for themselves that the present libraryis something of which they can be proud until, by further CO., operation of all citizens through the, years ahead, new library may be built with extra reading rooms, lecture rooms, stock rooms and all that goes to make a modern city library.
