The number of books now upon the shelves approximates 308 bound vol­ umes and 100 magazines. About 100 new books have recently been added, in­ cluding some 30 volumes presented by t he W. C. T. L. These are mostly tem­ perance stories, including the well known series by T. S. Arthur. Nor should I for­ get to acknowledge the generous gift of fourteen volumes of Thos.
