The statement stands for the realization of a dream coine true for those citizens of the community who have worked with one aim in mind for so many years--to provide the city with a suitable library in keeping with its growth and progress in other endeavors. The site of the new home for the library is the Tesch property, where Mrs. William Tesch lived more than eighty years and where she and her husband resided the sixty years of their married life. It was purchased by the city of McHenry library at public auction for $4,700. Immediate possession can be obtained but it will be necessary to do considerable remodeling before the home can be opened to the public as a library. An appeal ia being made to public apirlted tradesmen to donate any time they might have to assist in pre paring the structure for occupancy. ^ Well Located For several years those most interested in the project have been looking foh a suitable site. When the Tesch property became available, so centrally located in the heart of McHenry and near to its schools, action was taken to acquire the lots and building. A number of local residents have long expressed a desire to make donations to the establishment of a library when a permanent site was chosen. These contributions would be gratefully accepted at this time, to be used toward the payment of the building. It is expected that reading rooms will be established, as well as a special room for children's books. The Mother's club,' which in recent years has become the Woman's club, was the first organization to take steps to form a library back in the early thirties. With funds derived from events ithey sponsored, this cultural undertaking had a humble beginning in a very small room donated for their use by the high school. In 1943 the City Council passed an ordinanoe creating a public library, which continued operation in that place until the school, too small for the growing enrollment, was forced to convert all available space into class rooms. For the past few years the library has been housed in the city hall but here, too, quarters have- proven too small for the growing collection of books. Assisting in the maintenance of the library is the $750 which is derived annually from city tax funds. The board which haa charge of the library and its functions operates as a separate unit, its members appointed by the mayor, with the approval of the, Council. Members include Mrs. C. IW. Goodell, president; Mrs. C. j| Reihansperger, secretary and treasurer; Mrs. George Kramer, Mrs. Clarence Anglese, Mrs. A I. Froehlich. Mrs. C. H. Duker, Earl R. Walsh, Arnold Anderson and Leo G. Rothermel. Polio struck in McHenry fit the fourth time in little more that a week and the fifth time thit year on Friday of last week.
