Realizing that in a city the size of La (i i ancle there are a number of people who enjoy reading the latent and best books, but do not feel that they can afford to buy the books out right, but who are willing und able to pay a small rental fee, the Newlln Drug company has Installed a circu lating library to meet this demand. This library contains nearly 1000 vol umes, consisting of all the talked about, copyrighted books, the sland ai d works of fiction, the standard children's books and also a large col lection of paper-backed novels. The plan adopted by the Newlln Drug company to place this splendid library in the hands of the reading public is simple as well as inexpensive. There will be no red tape. The prospective member simply deposits $1.00 for which he receives his first book. The member is allowed to select any book In the library. This book the mem ber will be allowed to keep In his pos session for one week. At the expira tion of the week, or sooner, the mem ber may return the book and ty the payment of an additional 25 cents secure another book and by the pay ment of an additional 25 cents secure another book. Thus for 25 cents the member may have the pleasure of reading a $1.&0 book. If the books are kept longer than the week the small charge of five cents per day Is made for each additional day. Should the member not wish to take a book n week all that Is necessary Is to return the book taken out und a membership card will be Issued, wlili h will entitle the member to o book at any time upon payment only of the in-rent rental fee. With the library Is a large number of paper back novels, which are allowed to be taken out upon an Initial charge of but five cents. Readers are Invited to call at the store and examine "the library, and the Newlln Drug company feels sure that the selections will be found In every way worthy oh the consideration of the reading public.
