Open Saturday afternoon as usual, 2 to 4 p. m. We believe to many citizens the extent of the Library will be a revela- tion, for we are sure quite a number have no idea of the wealth of books gathered during the last 23 vears. and especially during the long Presidency of the late Dr Gun, than whom the Library has not, nor ever had, a truer 'friend. The directors will be at much greater expense now-even with the grant-than before. and they hope to see a very largely increased member- ship. Catalogues have Just been issued and are sold for 10 cents, enn- taining the books classified according to authors. &c I Since last issue a great change has ibeen made by the Directors of the [Public Library. Encouraged by the grant of 8100 from the council they (have rented the new store built by J IN Hunter, and have moved the great I bulk at the books ofthe Public Library iand all of the magazines into the new lquarters. Librarian C. Elvidge. assis- Ited by E. Kress, 1'eir'l,tfi', has the shelving in position an books placed and before many days the tables and lracks will be supplied with the na- merous choice magazines, daily pa' pers. &c., furnished by the Board. This move has been in contempla- tionfor nearly two years, especially since the early closing practice began. j Taking things as we fiad them, young I I people desire an outing in the evening, l (and the aim of the Directors is to pro- vide a place, other than hotels, where an open door invites to choicest read- ing. or wholsesome, quiet and refined recreation. The building vacated in part, was not convenient to the greater number and it is earnestly hoped all ptlhlie-ispirited citizens will aid this effort, wholly uniselfiish, to promote the best interests of the town. This they can do by becoming members of the Library. (for the Reading Room is free) and themselves using as occasion offers, and recommending to others the many advantages of both.
