NEW BRANCH ESTABLISHED Tortland Public Library Takes Over Soli wood Association. The Portland Library Association has taken over all the affairs of the Sellwood Library Association, and the library and reading-room on Umatilla avenue is now under the charge ot the association. This relieves the Sellwood Library As sociation, which started the reading-room, from further responsibility. The change took place the first or the year, it is the intention of the extension committee of the Portland library Association to retain the present Quarters, refit the bulldlne and provide It with 1000 books. together with reference books, place in charge a capable librarian and keep it open in ' the afternoons and eveninga of every day. To provide for keeping lOOO books, additional shelves will be furnished and probably the entire lower portion of the butlclintc will be occupied. The back room will be .reserved as a study-room and the front room will be used as at Dresent for a general reading-room. This is the first step toward making the Sellwood library a permanent branch With a book deiwsltory. The Sellwood IJbrarv Association, which has main tained this library under difficulties sue- ceesfullv for more than two years with voluntary contributions is gratified that the Portland Library Association has come to its rescue at a time when it had. . become very difficult to keep it up. The lecture course will be carried out onn arlmlcinn phflrWS' -II hfi made tO sret funds to clear off a deficit that has accumulated against the library.
