Let mo hubbcsI, liowovor, Hint 1 in thus remembering tbo girt, wo uo not forget tlio giver, the fairy god father, Mr. Andrew Carnegie, whoso unsolflBh and princely generosity has mado this building, with nil that Im plies, possible to us and ours. There la also nnothor to whom the commun ity Is deeply Indebted for the happy consummation wo celebrate hero to night ono whoso flno literary and logical mind, splendid executive- abili ty and untiring energy helped to lny tho foundations of this library. I re fer to Minnie Trnor llrndloy, who has but recently passed to another nnd we hope, a higher sphoro. Still another, who Is now among us, deserves spec ial mention and commendation our present most helpful and efficient librarian, Miss Elizabeth Topping. To Miss Topping, more than to nny other ono porson, perhaps, Is duo tho com plcto symmetry which unites nnd per vades all parts of this building. Sho has been at all times nnd in all seas ons tho main stay of tho library board sho has truly been to them whnt sho cvor i to tho public guide, phil osopher nnd friend. Another Important thought that presents Hsolf Is tho chnrncter of this building, for Innnlmnto objects some times possess what In Individuals wo term personality. Into tho cold and lifeless stcol and cement and plaster nnd woodwork of which this Btructuro Is composed, tho architect, tho con tractors, and every Individual work man put more far moro than their contracts demanded. They put Into It honest, faithful, cosclontlous effort and endeavor something that mere money could not purchnso. Every slroko of tho pencil, every turn of tho trowel, every beat of tho hammer spelt thorough, thoughtful attention nnd efficiency. An n natural result wo havo hero n building that It Is worth moro thnn It cost. It Is not largo or elegant, but wo llko It, be cnuso of whnt It represents. About It tlioro Is no sham, no pretense, no hy pocrisy. It Is solid and substantial nil tho way through. It rings truo Wo do not claim perfection for It, but wo nro proud of It, nnd hopo that you, too, will bo. Hut It Is not to Mr. Carncglo nnd tho .builders only that our thanka nro duo. Wo nro also grateful to our own people, and tho members of tho library board dcslro tonight to publicly thank nil those who hnvo as sisted thorn, clthor with monoy, books, Influence kindly words of en couragement or In any other way from tho tlmo, four nnd ono-hnlf yearfl iiro, when tho first friendly cnuiicllmon stretched out holplng linudH to our Infant cause, down to thoso who now cheerfully pay tho flno of two cents a day on overdue books. In this connection It may lio Interesting to know that last year theso tin m u fines amounted to a llttlu moro than $179. Two conts n day Rcoum n tiny and Insignificant num.

Wo rcalUo Hint money is . fi. rntmcll many, wo uiero- foro fael that In taking this Btcp they have expressed their belief In tie value of tho library to the public, and tliclr confidence in the library management. That wo may continue to mora this confidence, Is my hope, and shall bo no endeavor.
