PLAN NEW BUILDING FOR PUBLIC LIBRARY was invited to confer-with the library board in September. He pronounced the site an excellent one and submit- ted sketches of a size and type of building particulary suited to this community. The Branches department of the Chicago Public Library has been most generous in giving advice and time for conducting members of the board through its many new branches which show the latest in library equipment. _ ments of which are now in the cit! treasury to the credit of the library building fund, and a third install- ment will accrue from takes now be- ing paid. The estimated cost includ- ing furnishings and equipment is $150,000 requiring a small annual tax extending over four or five years to come. The City Council approved the plans at its regular meeting last Week. and all city offitGls are desir- ious of seeing this improvement com- pleted during the present year. Committee and Board Much credit for the excellent plans decided upon is due to the good work of the building committee in its study of the whole project from the outset. This committee is composed of J. B. Garnett, chairman, E. H. Eitel, and Mrs. Charles Rubins. The commit- tee was greatly aided in its work by the hearty co-operation of the mem- bers of the Library board, including Mrs. F. D. Everett, the president and Jesse L. Smith, Mrs. Blake, Rev. Frank Pitt, Byron C. “owes and Mrs, Otis Beerdsley. The committee and board also appreciates the assistance of Miss Hendee, the librarian, whose experience and knowledge of library requirements was of great help in the selection of plans. . .

The ehildren't, room is on the same level at the southwest corner of the building. The main entrance to this room is on the west facade as indicated in the drawing. A small assembly room is located in the foun- dation Root directly under the chil- dren's room. ' Mr. J. L. Crane, the city planner, has spent valuable time in conference with the building committee, and local friends of the library have already offered most excellent suggestions for beautifying the interior. Of such sug- gestions only a beginning has been made, for every citizen of Highland Park is invited to look over the floor plans at the library.
